I reckon chartering the DC-8 compared to 1st class tickets on that route would not be that much difference in price, per head.
You think so? I don't know how much it would cost to buy the whole 1st class section, but I reckon the government would get a good rate. I've got a failrly good idea how much a VIP DC-8 costs to charter too, and I think I know which is more expensive!
