Zuma’s bling Boeing to cost R2bn

[Zyzzyva]

Surely stripper poles aren't that expensive?

Once you add the bunga bunga drums, leopard skin sheets, and rope swing, things tend to add up.

[OGroteKoning]

He jolly well can use SAA (or any other airliner) for that matter. Works out cheaper. Much cheaper.

I prefer him using Nationwide ...

[The_Librarian]

Thnx. Made my blood boil and fingers slip

Same here.

If only we can stand together as we did with the Gauteng toll roads...

I'm waiting for someone like Sly to come here and tell us that this way it'll be more economical in the long run because the 777 is more fuel efficient than the BBJ. And...and it's easier on the environment. And bigger! So all his family can go on one trip instead of two.

[DrYes]

At least Zuma will be saving on fuel costs.

The BBJ is a modified 737 right? If you take what the two models are intended for, then no...I would not say it is more fuel efficient. Comparing the 777 (twin engine jet) with a A340 (quad engine jet), then yes, the 777 is way more fuel efficient. If you compare the engines of the 777 with a 737 engine...well...the CFM engine looks like a dinky toy. The GE or PW engine will need a lot more fuel compared to a CFM 737 engine.

Eish sorry...that was way off topic lol

I hope he has an AA pilot...

[R13...]

I hope he has an AA pilot...

Why does it matter?
There aren't that many AA pilots in the air force.

[Koosi]

besides the drums and leopard skin I bet this plane has an inbuilt anti AIDS shower and various showerheads for him to wear

[Mike Hoxbig]

And yet they want the private sector to help pay off the e-toll debt? This is like 10% of that amount!

It should be obvious. Self application of standards applied to others.

Shhhh!!! They might start taxing the airwaves more....

Hey Ockie-die-white-tendencies-tiktokkie, don't come here with your fancy ideas. This is a revoultionary plane! Now go! Go out!

[Creepster]

Where's my laser pointer!!!

I'll borrow you mine.as long as you hook it up to a SAM

[Ockie]

Well...they mentioned something interesting yesterday on 702. SAA is apparently about to send out invites to both Boeing and Airbus to renew its long haul fleet. Seeing that Zuma has his eye on the 777....who wants to bet Boeing gets this deal????
