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....

made my day.

My dad nearly bought a spitfire to restore. Unfortunately he got a third british bike to restore instead.

Nice pics! I love P-51's... though I know very little about them.

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.

When the President's not aboard there is no T.F.R. (Temporary Flight Restrictions) Issued .. So while this was taken from the air no laws were broken.. (stretched maybe)

Post by **Kagami** » Thu Jul 24, 2008 2:33 pm

is the low wing set up more aerodynamic?

Post by **Shamisen** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 1:33 am

Normally Low Wing Aircraft are a more stable platform.

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:24 am

Sounds rather a beast :3

I've been in a helicopter before... best i can claim to =p

Post by **Kagami** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:54 am

fixed wing glider.

if id been in that cokpit for another 10 seconds, it'd of become messy. so many thermals...

(it censors **** pit...)

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 6:56 am

**** is one word... wonder why it censors the entire thing =p

And goddamn that sounds fun.

Post by **Kagami** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 7:11 am

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

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 8:12 am

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

Post by **Kagami** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 3:27 pm

sounds awesome
ive only been on a bike once, but my face hurt afterwards, cos i never once stopped grinning. like your dads ariel, the noise from this bike was biblical

Taiga · Post by **Taiga** » Fri Jul 25, 2008 4:05 pm

>>THIS<< Is a photo of my dad and his 4x4 transit van. Couldn't find one of the bikes on facebook... will check myspace later. The van has a nice noise to it, too! ;D

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...

Part of the PG-13 rating system, and yes I know what a male rooster is called.... Foghorn Leghorn.... So there...
