Just saw on the morning news some airport in Aisa has cargo 747's - 3 of them, sitting abandoned. They are happy to have the planes but want the ramp fees. And they can't find the owners

I figure we can have them for fuel and fees and the opium residue left inside should cover that

OOPS !

edit to add, I wonder if they are still flyable? Houdini could fly it back for us and we could have a PARTY plane.

Malaysia, extra unclaimed airliners sitting around, in this day and age of terrorism, this just doesnt seem right.

Build a house?

A monkey could fly them back Steve, getting off the ground and pointing in the right direction isn't that hard....it's getting the damn thing back down again in a semi-civilized manner that can be a problem.

WHAT, who said we had to land it, just air refueling and fly around all the time. Hey it has autopilot right.
You know I know nothing about planes, matter of fact I hate flying.

But if it is that easy, why not you fly it back?

Yeah, what is it with Malaysia and jets? Jets without owners, owners without jets, man, oh man.....
