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...
