I'm not opposed to taking the lead, but would like to see more feedback, as COS would not be a bad location for it, but wouldn't be the most ideal.
How much would it cost to buy this 747 from UA? I assume it could be in the 8-figures at least? seems like alot of money that someone/group need to pony up. But yeah it would be a shame to see it basically trashed after this....
