Today we try to buy abandoned US Government Spy Planes cheap at auction. These King Air 350s have been sitting for years. They cost $60 Million brand new and were modified with advanced cameras, avionics, radars, and surveillance tools to spy on the enemy. Can they be saved? These planes are still worth millions in nice condition, and these are available for just a small fraction of that. Will these engines start up and run after many years? Enjoy this video as I explore these unique aircraft that played a key role in the US overseas military agenda. This is a very similar opporotunity to the cheap $100,000 Gulfstream GIII the other month.

I just happen to know where Ray Charles twin engine plane is itâs in a cow field in Texas
Whoever was bidding was thirsty as all hell for those planes
Wondering what the tail numbers are. I might have flown them.
These planes were very well taken care of. As much time as they had, I never felt nervous about flying them as far as maintenance was concerned.
These are the USA's "Satellites" where the balloons are not in the area.
want to buy a bd-5?
Those are definitely scrap. Like old cop cars.
Want to hear your stories robert
You most assuredly dodged a bullet. Your self discipline saved you on this one.
Unless you are representing a country you are lucky to avoid this possible nightmare
Used to kill mosquitoes in FL 250K, be glad you did pursue that one. It wasn't pressurized, I used to drop sterile fruit flies from the same King Airs and spray for mosquitoes. Some of their fleet served in Vietnam. Company is Dynamic Aviation.
Bullet dodger! đ
Good move
Need to get Jimmy's World on the line…. đ
My comment down below is I want my 25 minutes back, what a waste of a video .
Yeah sounds a lot like the free boats that are everywhere your getting a problem for free really you had better know what exactly your getting yourself into
They really are scrap also though unless you got a lot of money laying around to throw at them it will be a mistake to buy these at any price including free so you think all those people that looked at those planes then backed out were just retarded really
damn! fellow carries on and on and on with endless extraneous detail. get to the point man! this content could have been edited down significantly and been much better.

There's a harrier at James field in Minnesota that's been sitting for awhile
no helicopters? :/
Unfortunately when a plane has been listed as sold for parts it's a great deal of work and money to get them airworthy again. Not worth the hassle.
Jimmy's world would have brought these or rebuild rescue
Itâs great that you walked away from the spy plane auction
Fake auction to get rid of evidence?
The bidders most likely wanted the, FLIR observation equipment with all the avionics. The planes are not really worn out, they have just been de-certified after government service contract has been completed. In fact in my observations with government planes and equipment, the plates are taken out as per contract. So that if any civilian class Corporation wants to use them after government service they have to be re-certified either by the original manufactureâs or by a licensed agent Corporation. Thatâs how the military industrial complex works. Hence the gigantic storage yards out in the,Deserts. You can get approval to purchase any of those planes in the Desert storage yards, but trying to get them to a safe operating condition thatâs a time for another video broadcast and comments much to long for this format. In fact itâs not the age of the aircraft but how fatigued the airframe gets with the compression and tension stresses of the metal airframe. Itâs even more severe on pressurized aircraft. Remember there are still, WW I and WW II airframes still flying today. The amount of testing to visually assure no cracking issues for inflight service it is a lot of cost incurred. But you have to have an intact plan and great business model to use those aircraft to make it worth the expense. In fact it wouldnât surprise me if the avionics and FLIR equipment was purchased by another government contractor that already has existing contracts somewhere with another government agent or corporation somewhere on the globe. Hence the bid information sometimes is a Non-disclosure contract as to who purchased the former planes. This would be done as to hide the original government owners of the planes. Sometimes and in past purchases, States of Ohio, Arizona, Colorado have purchased planes of such spy caliber, only to have been criticized as to why and for what purpose by the Tax payers. Also inter department government agencies like the, BATF purchasing such military equipment has also been criticized by Tax payer watch dog Organizations. Thatâs why in order to hide budgets of Tax payer funded questionable programs everything has been on Omnibus bills as passed by the, Communist Democrat terrorist bills to fund more than the, âSkunk Works budgets.â Worked with all three forms of government, they are all filled with, âover ambitious Narcissistic type personalities.â But very few quality people exist in these bureaus now. Get a job in government and youâll discover what Iâm talking about. The governments across the globe have not changed since the old dayâs of the, Roman Empire, itâs just the games of the blood spirts are just not in the, Colosseum anymore.
These should become the ultimate UAP hunters no?
I would subscribe but your wearing a Stanford shirt sorry dude, but wait free car giveaway
There are many of these in Colombia SAđ¨đ´
Those PT-6 engines were probably worth that amount?
An airplane more so than a lot of other hardware is a bad deal when it is free. There are a lot of early Falcons, Citation, Gulfstreams and Commanders that are worthless even free. They are too expensive to operate. You might consider a Lockheed JetStar. Impressive, 4 engines and worthless.
