Air France has made an unsolicited offer to sell the Belgian air force two Boeing 727-200 transports at a cost of $8 million. They would replace two older model-100QCs, for troop carrying and transport duties. The offer follows reports that the air force is finding it increasingly costly to maintain the -100QCs, which were acquired from Sabena in the 1970s. The aircraft would be converted by Sabena, to the quick-change version for military use.
