Those were good planes.

>Lara’s brother first came across an auction listing for the plane last December. The Boeing aircraft had been sitting unused in a hangar at the El Paso airport for nearly 20 years. When it was flying commercially, the plane could seat up to 129 passengers. Its previous owner, a charter company called Blue Falcon Corp, had reportedly stopped making payments for the storage space after its president died in an unrelated plane accident. Before that, according to El Paso Matters, U.S. Marshals had used the aircraft to transport prisoners. The city ultimately decided to put it up for auction in January 2025, with an initial asking price of just $1,000.
