Singer-songwriter Alan Eugene Jackson was born in the United States on October 17, 1958. He is renowned for writing many of his own songs and singing in a genre sometimes referred to as “neotraditional country.” In addition to his 16 studio albums, Jackson has also released three greatest hits collections, two holiday albums, and two gospel albums.
One of the most successful musicians of all time, Jackson has sold over 75 million records worldwide, including 44 million in the US alone. In total, 66 of his songs—including six featured singles—have appeared on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks list. Of those 66 songs, 38 have reached the top five, and 35 have debuted at number one.
Does Alan Jackson own an airplane?
He owns at least seven aircraft, including three Gulfstream jets, a Boeing 727, a Bombardier Challenger 601, and a Boeing 707.
Jackson just bought the jet to use for travel between performances. He leaves his house in the afternoon and returns that same night whenever his tour schedule permits so he can spend more time with his family.
Is Alan Jackson a pilot?
Despite having his pilot’s license, Jackson was able to earn his private pilot’s license since his wife worries that he doesn’t fly a plane. When he originally got his license, he only used it to fly in the vicinity of Nashville. When he took his first flight, he was 26 years old.
