Right-wing pundit Glenn Beck has put his private plane up for sale.
The outlet surfaced the news through a listing for a DC9-15 on Controller.com and Federal Aviation Administration records. The Daily Beast reported Beck's radio company, Mercury Radio Arts, purchased the aircraft for $1 million three years ago and that the conservative media figure had previously held onto the plane despite financial struggles at his companies.

He was a damn kook early on with his screwy history lessons
I can’t stand him
Racism obsessed pc asshat
Like more than a few on this forum where by the way he was damn sure popular once upon a time
His history lessons demonizing where I come from were treated as the gospel
We knew better
Now look at him
Common
Trash
Good riddance
BuckFeck. He sold out for the consolation prizes.
Phase inspections are timed per flight hour. Each inspection checks various portions/components of the aircraft. The aircraft is due for a 12 year which does things like replace flight control cables that are not done on the phase inspections.
All events are expensive, typically 120,000 or better per inspection. So that million dollar aircraft will have at least 300,000 in inspection costs in the near future. , Engine issues will likely add another 50-100000 or so over the next couple years. Add in insurance, pilot salaries, and odds and ends and you are most likely looking at 1 million over the next few years—excluding hangar expense and fuel. kinda pricey!
Many here used to worship this clown....slitheted away now
[ Haven’t listened to him in years! He went off the rails a long time ago. I used to love his moron trivia segments. Not sure of his ratings, but he had to have lost many of his listeners from his crazy rantings. ]
If he hadn’t started giving soccer balls to illegals he would have not collapsed so badly.
It was all downhill for Beck after gloatfest 2004, the highlight of his career.
We need an editor, STAT!
First sentence should have read, “Right-leaning wing nut, Glen Beck...”
Wouldn’t you rather want a finely refurbished P-38 and fly it yourself?
>>>Wouldn’t you rather want a finely refurbished P-38 and fly it yourself?<<<
Sure would, then add a P-47 and a P-51 for good measure. LOL
There was talk Glenn was selling his company three months ago. People from The Blaze confirmed that Glenn might sell if the right offer came. Some right leaning blog wanted to take over the company.
And started dressing like some televangelist - or Mr Rodgers, not sure which.
The station north of me plays Beck. I’m an unrepentant talk radio junkie but hate listening to Beck.
I wrote them suggesting they jettison his carcass in favor of Chris Plante from WMAL in DC.
That was my thought too...a DC9??? Geez, that thing must be ancient or am I missing some new model designation??
