Am I the only one who thinks the Fall of the 747 is super sad?

    @Graingy the prices, I speak from experience, 6 months of searching for a plane that wasn’t overpriced, the wallet has been beaten up

    @MrSilverWolf wanna go halvsies on the cheapest 747 I could find? crazy where googling can get you

    They also had a couple of blackhawks on there, but they suspiciously say you have to call for a price…

    @MrSilverWolf Those emojis seem pained.
    Like they’re from experience.
    How’s your wallet, MrSilverWolf?

    @RepublicofWrightIsles hate to be the bearer of bad news that’s for a lawn decoration Mig-21, $150,000 in the aircraft market today will get you one of these and even better is it won’t even be the newest one either, 3 million? You could get one of these (fun fact that’s just the purchase price only 😃 not fuel expenses or maintenance, total that in thats $300,000 a year, on top of the 3 mil purchase price, and thats only for that plane let alone a mig 😃)

    @RepublicofWrightIsles We are not related.
    Anyways, the plane is over 50 years old. And I doubt one in good flying condition would go as low as $3 million USD. They’re still large, powerful aircraft, if dated.

    @Randomplayer a 747 isn't just a cargo, it is a passenger, just bc it's big doesn't mean it's cargo!

    @RepublicofWrightIsles yeah, and you can get a F-4 for 1 million, and a A-4 for 500,000, that’s less than a 747

    @RepublicofWrightIsles at most it would be around 3-4 million (that’s why I said if you have money)

    @RepublicofWrightIsles there is a possibility that people will be able to buy them, like how you can buy DC-3s and DC-6s and DC-10s
