Nationwide Auction

Good Evening everybody

I was watching the 7pm news and watched the segment
on Bricknells 737's being auctioned.
The journalist said the buyer of 3 of the 737's was anonimous.
Apparently they were sold for $300 000 each.

Does anybody know who bought these jets?

Ok, so now the whole thing smells...VB bought it...or actually some attorney of him or them...This guy says though his buying it on behalf of someone else?
Now that's only 3.
Was there only the 3 on auction, is there more left to be auctioned...or have they all found homes already?

Hey there Airforce 1.
Teazers has to do whatever they can to get business these days.
Showing the news is a great idea.
The Grand is way better than Teazers these days

Now anybody else know any other gen on the 737's?

Only two bidders, Vertical via his new found attourney and strangely enough rumour has it Comair, $1mil a good price, good engines, low cycles etc. however not economicaly RVSM convertable, therefore cut them up for spares or start a short sector airline.
Bottom line-
Nationwide owes Bank/BP/customers/etc money-Vertical signs surity/ceeds A/C to Bank, A N Other buys A/C for a song, Bank sues Vertical for balance.
Vertical however buys A/C for a song sells them one for one/operates them or sells them bit by bit for a whole lot more and voila Vertical wins again!
Wake up guys!
