The late Chinese revolutionary leader Chairman Mao Zedong’s official plane was advertised for sale by the owner of a shopping center in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province in South China. The owner named Wang Zhilei is the General Manager of Ridong Group.

Mao’s private plane is a 46-meter-long, two-story-high trident. It is still in good condition. The owner said he bought the plane in 1999 to attract more customers for his shopping center. He intends to sell it to make way for more parking spaces. The asking price of the trident is 8 million Yuan (about US$1.2 million). China bought three Tridents from Pakistan in 1969.

I personally find it remarkable that a private citizen bought a government owned airplane in the first place! Obviously it belongs in a State run museum. If they don't buy it back, years from now they will regret it!
