An apparently wealthy, unidentified Russian, wearing dark glasses tried to buy a B52 bomber from a group of American pilots in an air show near Moscow. An astound member of the US delegation said that the bomber were not for sale, but would cost at least 500m dollars if it were to be sold on spot, to which the Russian replied that money was not a problem for such a wonderful machine.
