Prices in the game is calculated by a formula, not real prices.

That price is the price in 1970 dollars, not current Euro.

I gotta say that aircraft in real life are much cheaper than what I anticipated

It doesn't matter if the prices are in Euros or dollars. Euro is just a name given to the currency of AM, it has nothing to do with the real Euro (except that prices are in a similar range to those of the current Euro). So really, the price is not 1970 US Dollars, or in current Euro but AM Euro.

I know what you mean about surprising prices!
I Googled planes for sale, and found the following prices (all used planes of course):
727-100 = $1,800,000
727-200 = $2,500,000
737-200 = $1,500,000
737-300 = $26,000,000
747-200 = $5,000,000
747-400 = $70,000,000
757-200 = $17,995,000
767-200ER = $14,000,000
767-300 = $14,995,000
Douglas DC-4 = $300,000
Lockheed L1011 = $395,000
McDonnell Douglas MD83 = $5,800,000

Yea, esp. the 747& the L-1011..... (Just to ask you... are they USD or what so ever?)
747: Twice the price of a 737 ? :shock:
L-1011: Are you missing 1 '0' in the price tag?!

The reason is, there were so many made that there are physically more planes than people to take them. The planes occupy space in junk yards, so anyone willing to offer a bit more than their scrap price gets the plane. With some of the newer ones, like the 737, there may still be some demand for them, hence they are worth something.
I would warn, there may be some errors on the sites, I noticed a few differences between the plane names and their pictures, but nevertheless, I think the above point is still valid: supply and demand.
If you want to find some more interesting prices, Google it.

Most of these planes probably are just the bodies, as in they dont have engines or they might be skeletons

I think were all forgetting here the price to FIX THEM UP! about another 4-7 mill even more back into the Boeing 747 the Tristar god just leave it to rot, then there's the chance
mid flight to Ireland where the engine rips of from stress fatique thanks to it's robust old age and you swim to Stephens then! the only thing i would touch is a B733 and a MD-83!
:shock:

They were on websites which implied that they were complete, but it may be possible that they were not.

Edit: I found an article on used plane prices, it said a stripped 747 costs around $100,000. The article also says how lots of old 747 will soon retire, with 747-8 and A380 coming out soon (plus more 747-400s being made).

Edit 2: Here is a listing of some cheap jets. Including a 1975, 747-200F for $8.5 million, a Boeing 727-100F for $600,000, a 1968 737-200 for $780,000, a 1981 747 SP for $1.6 million, 1986 A310-300 for $4.6 million, 1990 MD-83 for $11.5 million.

(plus more 747-400s being made).

Thats a very limited amount. 1 a month, until production ends next year/shifts to 747-8. And all remaining 747-400s are freighters...

What is really the reason behind 747s being retired, is the Boeing 777-300ER. It seats almost the same number of passengers as the 747-300 and 747-400, and more than the 747-100 and 747-200, while flying further and burning less fuel. It also carries more cargo in the belly, than the 747-400, 747-8 and A380 will.
