What would you buy with 100 mil?

If you had 100 mil.
What planes would you buy...or what plane would you save up for???

[Pacific]

Depends on your mission profile.

New focus city invasion = 9x HS748Es.
Jet service to small airports = 4x Fokker F28-1000.
Mainline jet service to medium-large cities: 3x Caravelle 10Bs.

Routes from Europe or USA large base to other large cities? Airbus A320-200

Unfortunately the A320 isn't available in the 80's.... :cry:

Oh well, at least the 757 comes on in 1983.

[Fleur-de-Lis]

Depends entirely on the mission objective.

Pacific, gave a good answer above.

Or; you could buy all of my Aérospatiale N 262's. That could very well turn into 160 destinations, carrying a total of 4,640 passengers - 16 gates filled right there. You can even fly above the competition on clogged routes with large aircraft and still turn a decent profit with that type of plane.

Let's see...

Well, I recently did have 100 mill, and I spent it on 2 737-100s and some F27-500s to prepare for a new focus city.

I logged in for the first time in a day and a half, and I had about 300 million cash sitting around so I picked up 4 DC9-50s and 2 Caravelle 12s. Just opened up a new hub very close to one of my hubs.....so now my gate use is much more, um, efficient.

Biggest shopping spree.....ever.

[SATA]

Id go with Pacific's post and its the planes you need for the job.

So it really depends.

Next on the agenda: finding a suitable 30-50 seat replacement for the Gulfstream G3 (hopefully a jet replacement), saving up for the 757, finding an international hub, and a domestic hub that isn't already saturated. Too bad the A320 isn't available in my world yet (out in 1988). Grr.

I had something like that in either the 1990s or the 2000s round last year.  I think I bought a boat load of 777s.  I raked in like 1.5 billion bucks after sitting idle for a couple of days!!!

Given my penchant to choose Airbus over Boeing, I would have bought a boatload of A340-300s and A330-300LRs (by the way when we're talking airplanes, it's 1 or 2 planes/boat lol)! anyway, it was really cool to be able to order so many planes at once. I suspect the same thing's gonna happen again after exams when I won't have logged in for like, a week. And then I'll just pick up a boatload of 757s (as the new-gen airbuses aren't out here yet :cry:)

Oh, and then they changed the seating capacity for the DC9-40 from 90 to 125 so I had to go back and go on a route-editing spree after my little shopping spree.

[CHR]

I came back after a few days away and had heaps of money, so I bought 9 MD-81s (€511,753,347)and an A300 (€139,377,122). Total: €651,130,469. In one spree I spent more than a third of my total spending on aircraft.

[zkvac]

In the old 1950's round last year they gave us all $1.5bn, I bought a heap of Lockheed Starliners. Good times

Oop, drifting off topic

[yourefired]

Did you buy comets too?
