A friend forwarded this. Not that I'm in the market, but the price was worth a click. Located on Ft Laud. Exec, it's completely run-out. Would make good hangar art at this point... http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/for/3203727292.html Posting the ad to JF because it will expire soon...
A 1977 Lear 25D for $79,000.00 . Always loved the sound of pure turbo jet engines. http://www.controller.com/listingsdetail/aircraft-for-sale/LEARJET-25D/1977-LEARJET-25D/1252885.htm?
Not sure about buying any airplanes from a guy named "Big Mike", let alone an airplane that has sat for 8 years. Even parting it out would likely not be worthwhile because the 24d is pretty much obsolete... South Florida, particularly at an airport like Opa-Locka (OPF) where this a/c is based, is notorious as a graveyard for old airplanes.
Not too long ago you could go to the bone yards in the desert and buy a flyable B-747 SP for half a mill, or the price of a Beech Bonanza. Nobody wanted them and a heavy check for commercial certification would cost many times more than the planes were worth. I worked for a company once who had the old "Big Orange", Braniff's B-747-100. When it ran out of time it got stripped of engines and equipment then slowly but surely chopped up in small pieces and hauled away in dumpsters. Ex-Braniff employees had tears in their eyes watching the slow and ugly death of the former Queen of the Skies..
