Lifting off from his helipad atop the roof of the W Hotel in Dallas, H. Ross Perot Jr.-the 54-year-old son of the cantankerous octogenarian billionaire who upended American politics in the 1990s-has his hands on the stick and his eyes on the horizon as he looks toward his empire. His calm, easy baritone, as he relays his position to air traffic controllers, poses a striking contrast to his dad's trademark squeak and his own stiff, serious manner on the ground. In 1982 he was the first man ever to circumnavigate the globe in a helicopter, and he still logs about ten hours a month piloting various aircraft (he flew Air Force fighter jets in the 1980s).
