Currently configured as remotely piloted but just remove a couple of
million dollars worth of wiring and these new and near new Rolls-Royce
turbofan powered Northrop Grumman motorgliders could serve in either a
single, two or even three place configuration. Perfect for your
commercial sailplane ride operation! The US Taxpayer spent $167
million each on these lovely Global Hawk Model 30 aircraft and now
they can be yours for a fraction of the cost! These are definitely
open class ships with a 35.4 M wingspan so you should have a wide
runway to operate. Excellent turnpoint cameras also included at no
extra charge. Contact the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration
Group at Davis-Monthan AFB for more details.

Yeah but does it have a built in Artificial Horizon. If so, it's a no go for me...

So how come we didn't let the Iranians have one of these obsolete ones
instead of a newer stealthy model?

Unless one could talk the Iranians out of theirs, guess we'll have to
wait for the recent stealthy versions to make it into civilian hands.
Just think, one could finish a contest first and no one would know. Go
anywhere you like in the Grand Canyon, or even Presidential TFR flying
just 'cause you can - no problems.

I was hoping that the USAF was finally going to sell the three X-C
equipped L-33's and/or three Ximango motorgliders that have been
cooking on the ramp at EDW for years. That would make too much
sense.
