assuming that it still flies, after sitting for 20 years as a display i have to doubt it's useability. I've seen one of those before and they are rather large, love to see someone tow that bitch home:o

assuming you can get ahold of jetfuel and find a airport that will allow you park that monstrosity on it.
either way it does say working, but does it say anything about it being airworthy? I'm sure after sitting for so long the amount of electrical failures possilbe are pretty high.

planes have always been available for sale to the public, what makes ones like this more of a threat?
