what was it brand new?
imagine the depreciation

That is hard to tell, since they are built custom ordered. Base price for a 2005 G550 was 58.25 Mil. With options that could add another 7.5 mil to the tab.

Either way it's definitely out of this cats price range.

There is an RAAF museum at Point Cook here in melbourne, which has a restored p51 mustang. Lucky for me the day we visited they were doing demonstrations, and the noise it made as it flew over.... :D :D :D

Two acrobatic planes from the Zelazny group collide during a performance at an air show in Radom, Poland, Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007. Both pilots died in the crash, but there were no reports of injuries in the crowd.

gliding? certainly something else, no engine noise to worry about, only the swish of air, and those thermals take you up really quickly.
...but im an engine nut. half the thrill with aircraft for me is the engines :D

My father has 3 old British bikes (Ariels). He often took me out on the 250 (called Abigail), the engine noise is amazing. When waiting for him to turn up you have time to get ready and eat something (not make it though) after you first hear him coming.

Other bikes are Lord Jim the 500 and Hannibal. all I know of the latter is that he's an Ariel Huntmaster.

[I accidentally put C for that last H and had to edit *cough*]

Upon checking, the Huntmaster (Hannibal) is 650cc

Let's use flight deck. The word sensor, sensors the "C" word and anything attached to it directly, if you make it 2 words as above it will only censor the "C" word...
