AggieDave 6 #7 February 6, 2004 Especially since the Military has the habit of running planes till the fucking wings fall off. Then they weld them back on and run them some more. Hell, how old is most of the C-130 fleet? How about the C-2 Greyhounds? Or the B-52s? Also, why are the pics from Navy releases, why doesn't he have one of the plane in a hanger sitting around waiting for someone to buy it?

Cudlo 0 #8 February 6, 2004 I thought the government had to specifically designate a former(or current) military plane for civilian use. Otherwise government only(this includes foreign governments). Hence, you dont see bill gates flying around in a Tomcat. And if this isnt true... can anyone tell me where i can steal.... er.. buy an A-6 Intruder? _________________________________________ "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." - Kierkegaard Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydivingNurse 0 #9 February 6, 2004 Sure, it may be owned by a local TV station, and I have no desire (at this time) and nowhere near the skillz, but there's an antenna in my backyard, close to 1000' tall (and I'm friends with all the cops in this town) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unstable 9 #12 February 6, 2004 Looks like a pretty shitty jump plane if you ask me??? Where is the door?? I'm sure it has a great Climb rate and all, but give me an otter, King Air or Box any day of the week....=========Shaun ========== Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

allrightscud 0 #16 February 6, 2004 A few years ago I tried to buy a decommissioned MIG for a publicity stunt. Never actually needed it in the end but they are available for a surprisingly low price. $2000 or less will get you a fuselage which looks the part. You just have to be able to transport it from eatsern europe to where you want it. Too much is never enough! All right scud? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #17 February 6, 2004 Don Kirlin of WFFC fame can get you an actual flyable MiG (He's aready got a few) or L-39's. His import compnay will refurb it and get it air race ready for you too if you want.
