Airliners as bizjets

Can anyone out there provide a list of classic airliners that are used as private jets? I know about a few (Peter Nygard's 727, Travolta's 707) but I'd really like to find out about more. Until recently, Donald Trump was travelling in a 727. There are even a couple 707s still flying for Omega. Aything really unusual, like maybe a C-130, Constellation, or L1011? Any help would be appreciated.

Fly's has a 727 and a 747, there are a handful of private 727s running loose. There's a DC-8, either a 30 or 50 in Dubai and someone in LAS has a Tri-Star.

The Tri-Star belongs to the Venetian.

Trump has one of Paul Allen's B757s. The other one is gone, too. I think the Getty's in KSFO have a B727 still.

I think it's Roush Motorsports that has a few 727's used for ferrying support crews and personnel

Red Bull takes their aviation department quite seriously. That DC-6 makes my naughty places tingle.

Thanks GF...I stand corrected. I do know that a member of the Saudi Royal Family has their own A340...met some of the crew. Great bunch of guys and an awesome job if you can get it.
