Wealthy Russian's attempt to buy B-52 at Moscow air show fails to get off the ground Reuters Published: Saturday, August 25, 2007 A wealthy Russian tried to buy a B-52 bomber from a group of shocked American pilots at an air show near Moscow, Russian newspaper Komsomolskaya Pravda reported yesterday. The unidentified man, wearing sunglasses and surrounded by bodyguards, approached the U.S. delegation and asked to buy the bomber, the newspaper said. A member of the delegation said the bomber was not for sale and would cost at least US$500-million if it were to be sold on the spot. "That is no problem. It is such a cool machine," the Russian was quoted as saying by the newspaper, which said its reporter overheard the conversation. [youtube]YQa4PpIkOZU[/youtube]
