Skunk:

Roger, wonder which one??

We had some old beaten up -100 series that were a bit "loose", they probably went for $2 to 3 mill,. .depending on how much time left on the engines, gear and time to C and D check.

Also had some super nice -200 with the increased gross weight, 833,000 punds and big engines, extra center fule tanks and such.

Nightmare to work for such a company because all the planes were different on limitations, cockpit set-up etc.. .Especially the ex-SAS birds were different, no tail on the ADF needles, autopilot panel backwards and so on.. .They were however in beatiful shape and flew nicely. (GE engines if memory serves me correctly)

Ah, good old days, will probably never fly a 747 again and sure miss 'em.
