    I’m guessing, the operating costs are why they couldn’t unload it. That thing takes too many people and too much fuel to run, for a business jet.

    The plans changed after the original customer died.
    Maybe we were better off buying this one instead of the 2 passenger versions being converted into the future Air Force One. At least with this one it was already slated for government use (albeit a foreign one) so some of the hard work would’ve been done already.

    A shame but the whole idea behind the ''vip" Saudi plane sucks. Im glad to see that die with this plane at least

    Just the cargo versions. Everyone else is banking on twin engine aircraft.
