onetrack Posted March 24 Posted March 24 You can anything with a lot of money, but I'll wager the surplus gliders were cheap as chips. Nowadays, this is what you do with oodles of money and defunct aircraft. 1
onetrack Posted March 24 Posted March 24 I must admit, I'm quite impressed with this "tiny home" on wheels (I don't know why it's not simply described as a caravan), but I can't see how they managed to convert it (from a Dash 8 training fuselage), and then sell it for around $50,000 - they must have lost money on it, as in the form of a promotional deal. The average caravan will chew up $100,000 of your hard-earned $$'s today. https://newatlas.com/tiny-houses/aero-off-grid-towable-home/ 1 1

ClintonB Posted Friday at 10:19 AM Posted Friday at 10:19 AM Did you see how much the little discs of Elvis’s jet were selling for. Low numbered ones were in the thousands USD, cool but totally useless. I wanted to buy some aircraft related T shirts from Jimmy’s website but the postage was huge to Australia. might have to wait until my Uncle comes back again and have them shipped to him in Texas for free.

Nev Better than d day when they landed at 80 knots full of troops and looked for trees to take the wings off for a quick stop. In the video above I would imagine being strapped into a stretcher was a nerve wracking ride.
