Oh, it was me. I was wondering where I put those things. I often misplace items which weigh several hundred thousand pounds. (OK, I just gave you all an opening for jokes)

The owner is hiding them from being reposessed by creditors. In the early day of FedEx, CEO Fred Smith did the same thing.

[TruthWillWin]

Good, they found it. Was wondering where I left it.

[onedoug]

They’re older models, but one would still think that with their registration codes and various serial numbers, they would be trackable.

Dang, I’m getting so forgetful in my old age!.................send them to me, guys, COD...........................

[ExCTCitizen]

Jeez, I thought I parked them at Bradley International, but I guess I forgot where it was...all airports look the same... :-)

[Red Badger]

Just how does one ‘hide’ a 747?..................

[SaveFerris]

One guy said he thinks one belongs to an Icelandic group.

The ad for the trip must have been:

“Tired of freezing all the time? We’re going to Malaysia and never coming back!”

[eartrumpet]

Good kid, he’s checking the VIN tag under the windshield.

[SaveFerris]

I’m just glad the view of the runway is unobstructed for landing.

[Snickering Hound]

They’re 747-200’s, too uneconomical to operate these days even for freight.

[TruthWillWin]

That photo cracks me up.

[Stosh]

Reminds me of the problem some of the small Gulf States (Qatar? UAE? whatever) have with expensive sports cars abandoned by native citizens who get a generous monthly stipend just for breathing - and then squander much of it on stuff like that.

jidem => hide

ooops

[onedoug]

TF is the Icelandic registration prefix. Thus this just seems a further indication that the Malaysians don’t know anything about anything. But they’re predominantly muslims, so....

[lurk]

Perhaps they can be used for refugee housing.

[hal ogen]

Don’t they have a VIN number on them somewhere????

[rlmorel]

Never gets old...ever!

Ranks right up there with: “I’m going to Target to see if I can buy a toddler-sized shark cage...”
