Sultan of Brunei's Private Airplane

[photos removed as owner's request]


This Airbus 340 aircraft was "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 inside and outside.

    Nope....was not done at E-Systems. They dont do that type of work. Only military defense contracts and aviation.
