The damaged one is the one they repainted and sent to the Olympics for display. It's also the one that is up for sale at $6 million. Yes, you can still buy it.
Apparently, there are still two new Burans but they are not being stored properly and would require quite a lot of work if you wanted to fly them. But they are still there.
I'd love to see them fly. I'd even like to see Europe put together a consortium to fly them. But then, I'm a SR-71 Blackbird freak too. You could probably spend half the U.S. GNP on these things and I'd just cheer.
Look at that big beefy hardware. My idea of a wet dream would be to launch 200-ton Burans while using SR-71's as spotter planes. I know, it's just an aerospace fantasy. But I still love all this stuff. And the Saturn and Jupiter rockets.
