In this industry, an airplane with a for sale sign never seems all that odd. When the airplane turns out to be a relatively new Boeing Business Jet—a BBJ 787 Dreamliner no less—people tend to pay attention. Boeing Business Jets are usually purchased for senior executive or VIP transportation and, with a list price north of $200 million a copy, owning a BBJ 787 is not for everyone. There are fewer than half a dozen BBJ 787s in service. There’s an international sales deal cooking, however, to entice just the right buyer for a slightly used BBJ 787 in case one of our readers is interested.
