Gee, who'd have thought you could make $150k selling commercial aircraft. :roll:
Who woulda thought you can buy commercial aircraft for 50k? Not me. Obviously it was a pile of junk. He made 150k selling a pile of crap.

Except that, apparently, for less than the cost of throwing it on a boat and shipping it to Hawaii, it could've been airworthy and FLOWN that. Unfit for commercial service and unflyable are two VERY different things for planes of this size. The thing might not pressurize, it might not have functional air-handling systems, it might look like crap, but there's a lot of "extra stuff" on a commercial airliner that just plain doesn't make a difference when you're looking at flyability.

"I don't know what they paid to ship it, but they might have saved money flying it there first," he said.
