[General] Jet Engine For Sale - $3K (Pratt & Whitney JT8D; Type Was Popular on 727, 737, DC-9 & MD-80)

[WebDawg]

See you are thinking right but wrong.

Your goal should be to get this jet and then contract it out...Fly people
around and such.  Do not forget about maintenance on the plane.  You are
going to need someone to do that.  You can get some parts refurb and such
but...its still expensive.

Where are all the VC's in HSV?

Thanks,

Web...
