Hahahahhahahahhahahahahahahahaa

Or are Spit dataplates now ?115,000? I think either "Mr. Saunders" is having a laugh and a half, or the price is an accurate reflection of the costs associated with recovering from that part of the world. In other words, a low-medium 5 figure cost + "Moscow loading"
Is it just me, or do I want to see an aircraft recovery project, that is a little bit more substantial than this, for $160,000?
