Glenn Beck's Media Company Continues to Crumble as His Company Jet Goes Up for Sale

[TexasTowelie]

Conservative TV and radio show host Glenn Beck once had the ear or the ire of almost every political wonk and zealot in America, depending on which side of the political aisle they were on. These days? Well, let's just say that his on-air crying fits would make a lot more sense now.

Beck's network, TheBlaze, has gone through rounds of layoffs and restructuring in the last few years, and the sale of his media company's private plane looks like the latest brick to fall out of his media empire's foundation.

The used aircraft website Controller.com recently listed a 1966 VIP McDonnell Douglas DC9-15 Executive for sale. The plane is registered with the Federal Aviation Administration toMercury Radio Arts, the Irving-based media company founded by Beck in 2002 that encompasses his various projects and business ventures.

An aviation company based in Latroke, Pennsylvania, is putting the plane up for sale and does not list an open bid or sticker price. The ad is offering the aircraft for "immediate full or fractional sale," according to the listing.

2. Glenn who?

3. How the hell is he going to sell that?

Fifty-year-old airliners aren't exactly leaping into customers' shopping carts.

5. I know. We have friends who

had a small plane, supposedly worth about $75,000 and they sold it for $20,000. Who would want a noisy DC 9?

4. That is one old airplane.

6. 1966? Yeah and Im sure it was kept 100% up to date

On maintenance. He might sell it to someone who likes restoring vintage items but no actual person in need of a functioning plane is getting anywhere near it.

7. Upkeep had to be a bit expensive

for that dated of an aircraft. Likely fuel efficiency wasn't that great as well.
