Around 2005 they costed above $25 million. I found them on satelite ( http://goo.gl/maps/V5606 ) it seems there are 37, close to a billion dollars,
With that many in storage I would expect the price to be a fraction of what they were worth in 2005. I doubt Mesa sent the gems of their fleet to collect dust, probably high time in need of overhaul. Wonder if they are marketable to the large package freight companies. I heard Amazon was looking to ship their own freight, that would be a nice little start up. I question the feasibility of using the aircraft for corporate purposes, does it hold enough fuel to be competitive?
