looks like a middle eastern rich guy decided to buy a airbus A380 for 300 mill.... for his own private use..

who knows wut hes gonna do with it

I assume that he plans to fly around on it. What would you do with an airplane?

Wim Libaers · 06-19-07, 02:53 PM

Maybe he wants to fly into a skyscraper? :hmm:

Wasn't going to touch that one with a ten foot pole.....

Oh, go on, just touch it, it won't bite. Just give it a little stroke.

Well then he's really stupid. :rotfl:
Why spend 300 million for buying an airbus and send it crashing on a building when he can hire 2-3 gentlemen to highjack an airplane and accomlish the same thing.
All for a fraction of the cost ? :hmm:

He wants to take all his wifes and children with him when he travels.:hmm:

I don't think it's funny; a flying home would be cool.

That's just it: Typical excess. He wants a flying chateu. He's got one. If he can afford to buy one, he will, no doubt, gut it and remodel the interior as he sees fit. You won't be seeing 830 seats when all is done.

What the hell is this guy thinking??? an A380? Madness, he should have bought an F-16 instead lol - block 42, the big wide HUD is cool and I prefer the two tone blue/grey paint scheme :p.

Hell what am I thinking..."hello, yes, I would like to purchase the Type XXI Uboat that your displaying" lol

. Now I just need a crew, any offers Kaluens?
