Are you saying that when a Boeing aircraft is actually sold, the buyers and the sales team get onboard, they take off, fly out over the nearest ocean, and sign the bill of sale while IN FLIGHT? That's crazy amusing.

Disparate crotches were very shoreward evincing besides the flange.

That is absolutely correct, at least for USA based airline customers. The actual transfer of ownership occurs inflight in international airspace and as an added bonus the first point of landing is in Oregon to avoid state sales taxes---or at least it was a few years ago when I was aboard one such flight. (I am a commercial airline pilot for a major US airline and thus the AC.). One AC is calling it a myth. The other AC has said they were actually on board such a flight.

Can someone actually comment on this with some weight? Are you implying that the other posters did so from a weightless environment? Andrews Pitchfork Mt4 Indicator.

I don't know how many people aboard the ISS troll slashdot, but i suppose the other option would be they are onboard a (boeing?) flight that is in freefall. Just so there is no confusion, I have weight and mass, as I am in a stationary position on/near the surface of Earth. Right, and you report everything you buy on Amazon to your state and pay sales tax on it, right? Because a lot of people engage in similar types of 'evasion.' Ironically, this would actually qualify as 'tax evasion', because the buyer is evading paying taxes that he/she owes. What Boeing (purportedly) does is not tax evasion at all.

It is taking steps to not even OWE tax, and so therefore, they can't be evading tax. What Boeing (purportedly) does is similar to driving two towns over to buy a big ticket item because their sales tax is cheaper (or nonexistent) there. Oh look, it says 'George Town, Cayman Islands' beneath the name on the ship.

And the brochure says 'NOT FOR SALE OR CHARTER TO U.S. RESIDENTS WHILE IN U.S. Taxes are such a bitch, aren't they Eric? Given the way that various large economies have been starting to lean on dinky tax havens about the details of what they do lately, I'm a little surprised that the Coast Guard hasn't been flirting with a 'Oh, no support contract? I hope you like either per-incident support fees or very long distance swims.' Policy for ships registered in places with that flavor. That;s a lovely boat.

It's a work boat, not a pagoda on a glass brick like some other luxury yachts we've dissected. It might even weather a real storm in a real ocean as opposed to sinking at the dock as soon as the tide turned. He should donate to a real oceanography group, Scripps, Texas A&M, hell, NOAA could probably use it. Or, if he will simply transfer the title to me, I'll pay for the moorage and start buying lottery tickets to put fuel in the thing. Maybe a kickstarter project.

Given that it was used in oceanographic research cruises in the Antarctic, I think it's probably already weathered some real storms and been through some pretty crazy seas before. The specs on the thing make it look like it'd be a nice working vessel.
