The attached photos are of the Sultan of Brunei's personal transportation, an Airbus A340 being modified down in Waco, Texas. E-Systems [now Raytheon] has installed an estimated $120M worth of improvements inside and out. The Lav sinks are solid gold, and one is Lalique Crystal. Enjoy, and try not to drool too much.

My dad has worked for E-systems(raytheon, and now L-3) since I can remember. They had some big wig from Saudi's plane at the plant here in Greenville, TX one time. Dad's crew was the one working on it. We got to go tour it. There is some cool ass shit on those things. Gold everywhere. Man it was sweet!!
