Country: | Yep. I find it interesting that the rice was fairly low while the article said: Quote: |
It said the fighter jet, last flown in 1995, has been inspected by a museum and found to be in excellent condition.
| I assume they mean excellent condition for a static aircraft.

Country: | Actually that's about right - it would probably take another $25,000 to get it safe for flight and would also carry an hourly operating cost of about $2000 per hour.....

Country: | Wow, I didn't realize they were that cheap to obtain. I figured operating costs would be high though.

There is only one F-4 flying in civilian hands right now, Davis Montham isn't letting them go that easy, especially since most of them will ultimately be "droned."

Country: | Boy, I dunno how much i'd pay for something like that. Just for a static display I imagine it shouldn't be too terrible, but for a flyable plane I can only imagine.

Country: | You would think he might have checked to see whether he could import it before he placed a bid. DOH!
