Recently I was cruising some of the turther forums when I came across this.

Naturally my curiosity peaked when I read this. Right away I knew someone was playing a very sick joke, exactly who I'm not sure. One does not get the serial number wrong for an aircraft they are supposedly selling. Not with the kind of money that is involved.

It was sort of funny reading the reactions of the truthers. They were practically falling all over each other thinking they finally found the smoking gun. Guess it did not enter their minds that someone might be playing a game. Or that in order for it to be true AA either has to be in on the conspiracy or they are totally clueless. One of my favorite posts is this.

No one should mention Flight 11 or anything to do with 9/11 if they call this guy... at some point this will be properly investigated and it is essential that the seller not have any suspicion aroused.. is that not common sense? Otherwise we risk blowing the best lead to ever emerge in 6 years.. don't blow it guys! I am having indirect discreet inquiries placed about this, and would really urge folks to sit tight and let this play out, and not blow it by a foolish phone call... 'nuf said.

The guy said this on an open forum! Way to keep a secret there smart guy!

Then it took a rather bizarre turn. Someone supposedly contacted the person who is "selling" this aircraft. They corrected themselves and said it was N330AA, the 767 that suffered a turbine failure on the number one engine at LAX last year. Then they stated that the left wing and both engines were replaced. That's when the old BS alarms started screaming. Replacing the l/h wing would require special tooling. They also fail to mention that the aft l/h part of the fuselage has significant heat damage. The final nail in the coffin is that the keel beam of the aircraft was damaged. When this happens the aircraft is considered a write off. Which it is because it's still sitting at LAX minus the engines.
 
The stupidest people on the face of the earth.
 
Likely that will become a fire training hulk. We have several blackened hulks at the north side of O'Hare here, nigh unto the Jane Adams tollway. Several times a year some motorist sees the firemen working on one of the blazing hulks and freaks out and calls 911 and the newspapers!

Once all the insurance issues have been sorted out all usable parts will be removed and the rest sold for scrap. Those hulks you see at airports are steel tubes made to look like an airliner. The problem with using an old airframe for firefighting training is that you would only be able to use it once.

Do you think they'll all chip in to buy it? That would be worth seeing.
 
Too late...

This aircaft is no longer avilable for sale or lease by Atlas Aviation, click here to goto our Large Transport Jet category for other 767-200ER aircraft for sale.

Sometimes when I laugh at these kind of things I have that cruel feeling you get like you're laughing at some drunk tramp who has just wet their pants.

My God, even after the semi-sensible idiot posted that he contacted the seller by pretending to be a potential buyer and confirmed that the seller was indeed talking about the engine fire plane(ship 330, not 334), several PfT morons still can't bring themselves to belive it was a simple typo. I didn't know people who know how to operate a computer can be so mind-numbingly stupid.

Not using a computer but still stupid, should be a Darwin runner up.

I think the whole thing is a huge scam. If someone was trying to sell N330AA and said it was repaired that is a total fabrication. The aircraft is beyond economic repair. And I have a hard time believing it was a typo. Also, anyone who's looking to buy an aircraft is going to know the history on that aircraft. There's a paper work trail a mile long on any commercial airliner.

Who decides if the airplane gets written off? AA inspection, Boeing, the owner/lessor, the insurance company..? We basically had the exact same thing happen to an MD-11 here and after about a year in limbo(the plane just sat at the Delta North ramp at ATL), they found a buyer and the plane was eventually repaired and sold to UPS.

I dunno about that. The airplane still had some value(we sold all of our -200s; so there is a market) and if somebody wanted to pay for a wing and 2 refurbed CF-6s - I'm sure a deal could have happened. See above.
