    Email from Marine Veteran | FEBRUARY 20, 2005 | RETIRED AIR FORCE LT. GENERAL
    This message and the pictures are from a friend of a friend of mine who is a retired Air Force Lt.General. He wrote: I toured this aircraft as it was being "remodeled" in Waco. Yes, the sinks are solid gold and one of them is Lalique crystal. The Sultan bought the aircraft for roughly $100M; had it flown to Waco, brand-new, had the interior completely removed; and had the folks at E-Systems(now Raytheon) install $120M worth of improvements and outside. I've gained entrance to nuclear weapons storage areas much easier than gaining entrance to see this airplane.
