January 18, 20179 yr So I just updated the Ops Center and yes, the 747 is showing there now. Good news indeed. I hit the "Buy" button and sure enough it took me to the purchase page. In part, it said: Price: $228,000,000.00 No shipping required Fine. Now, I understand that there might be a $10.00 discount for seniors? If that's true, how would I get that, because I might not be able to afford this without the $10 off the 228,000,000.00... (oh, is that USD, I presume?) Hey, just thought I'd ask... :Big Grin: Glenn (and puuleeeeese, don't anyone take me seriously in this post - just felt like having a bit of fun while waiting for the '47 :wink: )
January 18, 20179 yr Hi, I alwyas thought that if the price of the PMDG 747v3 was $227,999,999.99, they woud sell it much better! Romain Roux Avec l'avion, nous avons inventé la ligne droite. St Exupéry, Terre des hommes.

January 19, 20179 yr Interesting why such a precise price 228,000,000...2/28...Feb 28...”the team has been discussing release dates for about four weeks now, and we finally have one that we are comfortable that we will make”…”more than a week away, and before Christmas Eve, 2017”. That might be the specific reason why there can be no $10.00 discount for seniors Ok I agree - maybe too much of Dan Brown theories here :smile: Kind regards, Vladimir

January 19, 20179 yr I also bought it, wow its delivery flight from Seatle was just pure magic, i spent most of the flight gawking at the features, so landed at OR Tambo (Johannesburg), taxied to my house, cops pulled me over, apparently the wings was breaking down the highway light pylons, and it didnt have a number plate and the indicators were not amber, and the lights were blinding the people from the opposite lanes, geeezzz but these cops can complain, oh and i got another one for taking up too much lanes on the highway, for crying in a bucket it is a 747 they should be marveling at it not giving me tickets!!!! Just cant please some people! So i slipped the cop my license with a R50 insiode and a KFC voucher, did the trick!!! Marius Scheepers Wannabe Pilot

January 19, 20179 yr "...cops pulled me over..." <LOL> Don't ya just hate it when that happens? But exactly where did you "pull over" too in a 747 <LMAO>?? And they say we don't have a sense of humour here! These are a hoot to read! Nice going guys :smile: Glenn Davy
January 19, 20179 yr Cops and neighbours were OK. All gave me the thumbs up! It is my wife who said: "You are not bringing THAT into the aparment, are you?" She will eventually let me, she always does, with a little pat on the head and a: "there there honey, you can buy it".

January 19, 20179 yr Oh. When I bought it, I removed the wings so I could drive it thru the Lincoln Tunnel (NYC) on my way to to retirement in Paradise (better known as South Florida). Toll was high though: They charge for additional wheels.

By the way, have you looked out the window recently, it's probably been stolen already to be used as a minibus taxi. It shouldn't take some innovative thief long to figure out that the old 747 will just glide through that M1 traffic. R.
