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.

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