Actually, private 727's are fairly common. The purchase prices are, by jet
standards, quite low. There's a lot of room inside for fancy furnishings.
The only rub is fuel and maintenance, which is high compared to modern
birds. However, if you don't put too many hours on it, that's not too bad.

This is all "relative", of course.

All I can figure is that he locks people in there during "business
renditions".

Wonder if he'll knock some $$ off for a repaint? :))

Is it possible, or make sense to retrofit a -100 to a Super 27?

Minor detail.. I say convert it to a Super 721!! Here is the DF 721-RE
beta model for FS9, running in FS8. I had more fun tweaking, painting
flying and recording/analyzing data on that AC!!

Hi Gregory,

Nice looking plane(for a big iron, that is), but I bet its got the
turning circle of a, well, ermm, airliner compared to my Spitfire or P-51!!
:-))
