Damn....and they posted a "buy it now" for 1.075 million...if all that's on the up and up, sounds like somebody missed the bus....
Those same guys are asking 90 million for the MiG 29. :eek:

That's nuts. I lived outside Houston for a while in '95 and every weekend at David Wayne Hooks Airport some guy used to come in with his private Tornado Jet and do a couple hours worth of touch and goes. Each time he'd apply full power for another trip around the patch we'd guess at the tally in fuel alone. Hey - if you've got it, flaunt it. :-) EDIT: I've seen several of the formation flight teams around the world, and by far the Angels take the cake. Check out that pic with the guy about 5 feet off the deck with no gear down and contrails coming off the canopy. That takes balls -- He's probably got every warning in that cockpit going off at once right now.

Darnat should be able to help us obtain a nice Harrier. :p

Not a bit, K....it's your nickel... :)
This F4U Corsair was owned and operated by a good friend of mine and my Dad until recently, when it was sold to some French aviator.
My Dad has flown this particular airplane. I don't think I'd even ride in it. :eek:
