I was wondering where I left them.  Darn things don't make a chirp when you hit the clicker.  I was wandering the lot for hours before I just gave up.

747's that age and sitting that long..... my guess is the cost to make them airworthy again is a lot more than their value. Bring the saws.

It's probably cheaper for the owners to let the planes be confiscated.

This is like the old joke that voters are harsher to their beer brewer if he has an outage, than their politicians after raising their taxes. Death and taxes are certain but, fun and sex is only now.

Yes, they've been sitting there for at least 2 years in the tropical weather, sad really.
