20 tons is 20 tons. What’s the payload capacity of a plane like that?

About 250,000 pounds of cargo. Quite a bit more if not taking on a full load of fuel, so 400,000 pounds is possible.

That’s what I figured. 800 or 900 million dollars in gold is trivial on a plane like that. Gold is amazingly compact and valuable.

The fake news talking head idiots on the stupid box were talking about gold some years back and detracted it at one point “it’s really heavy!” as if this somehow poses some sort of insurmountable logistical problem or something, I mean just forget it, right? LOL.

Most people could carry around their entire net worth in terms of gold coin in their front pockets and nobody would ever notice.
