The first sentence of the article amuses me. It refers to two groups of people: Those who can afford these planes and those who pretend they can afford these planes. LOL!!!!

That don't look like a 10-12 degree pitch. Is the pilot drunk.

Seeing as the article says that the buyer is not American or European, my money goes on a member of one of the royal families from an OPEC member.

Hey, I'm just going by precedent. I remember seeing something on the history channel awhile ago about similar things, and many of the owners of said objects were princes of Arab nations. For example, a silver car, yes, elemental silver, as in Ag, not stainless steel, and not electroplated either... Or how about a palace that puts the Versailles and Schloss Sanssouci combined to shame?

bought it....have you seen his palace?

He's not the first, and I certaintly dont expect him to be the last. Highly impractical. Id love to see someone turn a C-17 into a private jet. Fly to virtually anywhere with the STOL capabilities.

Hey, wait til I get my hands on an Antonov An-225 (pictures of 124 coming as soon as I find my camera lol). I will take out the APU...and replace it with a tap...that sprays out beer, from a HUGE tank located inside the plane.

Unfortunately not for sale.
What about an An-124 private jet?
