Typical, collection only :rolleyes:

I suppose when you consider the amount of bubble wrap needed it's fair enough

no your ok, just stick a 1st class stamp on it and then when it reaches the destination they can pay the excess charges.

Mind you Royal Mail will still manage to damage it!.

nice to see he has sold a few more planes on ebay before!

Fancy paying $4.9m to a seller with a rating of 23*

That's what put me off - far too noisy! If it wasn't for that...

Greenlizard0 · 2 Oct 2006 at 00:22

Hmm....didn't realise that people sold private jet's on ebay...it looks quite cool though tbh.

Scuzi · 2 Oct 2006 at 01:48

Bad purchase TBH. Especially for that price.
I still love the sound of them though :cool:

Just what I was thinking, going to be kinda' hard to find airports to use with those engines.

Portland, Oregon was the last of the international airports on the west coast to allow them in (due to the sir force still flying out of there), and they just recently condemned them AFIK......

Heh, 18 months ago there was a 747 that sold privately for 4.5 mil over on this side of the pond. But that was in US dollars, so considerably cheaper than that one.....

Care to explain why airports won't allow those engines, too loud?

Yup, they're not turbofan design. They're a pure jet engine. They rely strictly on the thrust of the exhaust to propel the plane, not the turbofan like everything else you see flying passengers today.

Notice there's no large ring around the front part of the engine with spinning blades? Those blades are the turbofan. It works like an enclosed propellor.

You can read all about it here
