Wasn't expecting to find it here:
http://www.cnn.com/2017/01/24/luxury/most-expensive-home-250-million-usd/index.html

Has to be a pretty small number of people that could afford that house AND are fans of that long-forgotten TV series.

Meh, 250 million is pocket change for people like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. I don't know if they are fans of the show though. smile

They claim it's the same Bell 222 from the TV show, but I read that it was destroyed in a crash in 1992.

It is probably the one referred to on wikipedia as a replica that was for sale on ebay in 2008.

Agreed. It looks like something that a billionaire Russian oil tycoon would buy.

Nice collection of cars comes with the house.


There was only 16 squadrons of RAF fighters that used 100 octane during the BoB.
The Fw190A could not fly with the outer cannon removed.
There was no Fw190A-8s flying with the JGs in 1945.

Wanted millennial billionaire with no idea what they want and who will happily except someone else's idea of what is tasteful and luxurious.

Totally ugly, tacky, waste of space, garbage......

So it will probably sell quickly. biggrin

It does look like a converted parking garage, doesn't it?
With my luck, the pool would spring a leak, ruining the cars and Airwolf would pop a sunburst and burn the house down.

Like the giant camera and some other things, it's considered "art."

Come on, who here hasn't considered something that flies art at one time or another?

The whole place is dedicated to "why?" and excess. Why not a non-functioning chopper to go with the cars too valuable to be driven? Someone else's taste built it, decorated it, added collectibles the owner didn't choose...it's all window dressing.

Reminds me of the Count of Monte Cristo when he just needs the estate and house for a prop. Take the money and just walk away.

I wouldn't, but if I had the wealth and space I wouldn't say no to the same in the form of an F-16...

I wonder what the property tax bill would be for that house?

Lol Jedi is right but it is about 3/4% to 1.5% percent of the sale price depending on the county. So roughly 2 to 4 million per year. Proposition 13 limits the amount the rate your taxes can be increased annually too so you won't see a huge jump in the taxes even if the property doubles or triples in value.
