GeeBee Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 The one I looked at and analyzed for the boss was a -8 that was owned by Clorox. After looking at the maintenance costs, going through the maintenance manuals we found cost were excessive and the mounting of the engines drove up that cost. Equally so it was such a fuel hog trans-continental flight was almost impossible and definitely not west bound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyboy0681 Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 Every bit as complex as a 707, or should I say KC-135 since the guys up front have to deal with the fuel tanks. Pretty funny that the throttle quadrant is marked with arrows for "increase power" and "decrease power", just in case the pilots get confused. This flight deck is very old school, which I love.

N9201A Posted April 30, 2021 Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 There was a beautiful privately owned one parked near Signature at Oakland off of 28R for a good chunk of 2019-20. I’ve lost sight of it but appeared to be airworthy and was registered. I remember seeing Mario Andretti’s at LGB back when he was racing there in the late ‘80s.

You better have two 401Ks One to buy the jet and the other to operate the jet! The purchase price is usually the lower of the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
