Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Airplanes Only B-747SP

Yeah, back before this thread took a turn that made everything moot, I cringed at the thought of running a certain Cowboys fan through the number 1 engine. You know how expensive those things are! Way too expensive to be used as a garbage disposal. (Oops, did I say that last part out loud? My bad)

Oh, and I thought the SP was most readily noticed by its tail. That thing really stands out.

Just looked up the air museum in Kansas City that has the Connie in TWA colors (Save A Connie) and found out that it's closed because Signature (the, in my opinion, take no prisoners, money-grubbing FBO chain) has padlocked the museum even though the museum has a rent-free lease directly with the City. It's a mess. Airplanes/exhibits inaccessible, unprotected and not maintained since last July. It's a disgrace.

Probably not as expensive as the engine of the F-35. Misplaced flashlight caused $4M damage to F-35 engine [airforcetimes.com] .

...not feelin' the L O V E here...

What makes you think there is not already a Black Sheep Sticker(s) on it already? How about no NEW stickers?

We have a retired TWA 747 captain here at KUUU - Newport. Lou Burns would love to come out of retirement for this. In addition to being a Captain - he is INTIMATELY familiar with 747 systems. He was on the TWA800 inquiry. He would be a solid on the team. Want me to go ask him?

I’ve seen their 747s. I recall both are painted the same with nondescript generic livery.

Will KCWI runways handle weight of the 747 Special Performance (SP)?

Not sure what the runway is rated for, but the taxiways are a bit small for a 747 of any size.

They sold it to someone else. They bid a $1.00 more that we bid.
