It's not the cost of the airplane that you should be worrying about.
Sincerely, a retired aircraft mechanic ;)
Ain't that the truth, never owned an aircraft outright, only a share in a Cessna 152 many years ago, hoooo weeee, that was expensive.
Operation cost are often time blowed out since it's the government paying, someone has to call this out.
Ain't that the truth.
@@lcfflc3887 Well, if you think hiring an expensive mechanic is costly, just wait untik you hire a cheap one 😜
@@PhilipDK5800 and how many times do you have to open your jet up before each flight? Semi annual and annual checks: avionics, engines, control surface cables, fuel lines and other things, yes you need to pay someone for that, this things aren't done before each flight, this type of in depth overhauls take hours, days and even weeks, this is not done before each flight lol. You aren't sending a rocket in to the moon, before each flight what you would do is your regular walk around, basic maintenance check list that even you can do as a pilot, fuel, landing and parking fees pretty much is all you need to worry about if you are heading and landing somewhere else.
The Draken is the most desirable one in the list! with all the Swedish requirements, easy maintenence, short take of, etc, etc
Also, probably one of the frighting of the bunch along with the MiG-21, but I would give it a go.
Svenska Flygvapnet 🇸🇪 Flieger Empor !!
Ukraine needs them NOW!!!
It's honestly shocking that they can be bought for so little. They're literally less than most 2 story homes, and while you can sleep in a Draken cockpit, you can't make a house go over mock2
Unless a bunch of SAAB105 becomes awaileble. I think the 4-seater would be a good family aircraft.
Price of the plane is the minor of the problems, A mechanic, a Trained Pilot and find the Pices for Manutention are the real problem
Or you could park in on the front lawn, sit in it and make airplane noises.
My uncle died in an F-4 crash at Elgin in 1968. That said, I’ve always been fascinated by this beast of a plane.
Sorry to hear that. The F4 is quite a machine, I had one as an Airfix model, pride and place in my collection when I were a kid, great looking aircraft. :-) Joe
The old Mig 15's were going for only ~$30k (AUD) a few years back. Getting one with a reliable (not forged) maintenance record was the hard part ... oh, and a working ejector seat!
If only we had all bought Bitcoin in 2010
Give it a few more months, the MiG 15 and 21 will be back in active service...
I get your drift, I hope mot.
You don’t want to fly Mig 15s. They have the nasty habit of not being able to pull out of a dive. Plus they have an abrupt stall characteristic. You need to fly that jet fast so you can only fly out of long runways. Same with MiG 21s. It’s the hourly costs of fuel and maintenance that will wipe out your savings account.
@@ArizonaAirspace darn it! I’ll cancel the order!!!
I would easily go for that Draken. Even in a unflyable status it would sit well in my front lawn.
Didn't Clarkson have the EE Lighting on his front lawn.? Imagine what the neighbours would say.
The phantom by a country mile what an icon of the skies
One of the best century series fighters
My favorite military fighter aircraft. Worked on the fire control system (radar) when I was in the USAF.
Many pilots learned in the l39, such a good basis
If you don't care about fuel and maintenance, you can pick up a non turbo Cessna 310 for $40k which is about 1/3 the price of a comparable Baron or C210. The L39 requires the compensation package of a GM vice chairman.
I always wanted to fly the Cessna Skymaster
Draken for practicality but gotta love the Brick.
Draken is absolute beauty. Just fantastic
I have to agree, but it's like asking someone to pick a favorite child. They are all special, but the SAAB, is just different
The Phantom II would be the right choice. My wife would also like to fly with me. The whole plane will be painted in rainbow colors, with big Peace stickers on the wings and tail.
You can dream sometimes
Dreaming is free, why not.
A4K Skyhawk
Yes, if you go to the website in the description they have a TA-4J Skyhawk for sale, only $3,200,000. if you are buying tell them Joe sent you ;-)
@@global092 oohhh the jet for junior pilots...The Draken and Viggen laugh in the air and the mig constructur found himself on the way to Siberia.....
Just finished the video, i think i'm gonna reconsider my dream car list
Everyone needs a fighter jet in the garage next to the lambo.
Even if you buy a jet for $100k, you wont keep it long when you realize maintenance is $100k+/year and fuel is $1500+/hour.
No doubt deep pockets are required....tonight's videos will solve all our money problems....:-) Joe
MIG 15, MIG 19, MIG 21, Gloster Meteor, F4, Phantom (Still in Iranian service ATM) DeHavilland Vampire, Hawker Hunter, English Electric Lightning, Shooting Star, Hawker Harrier, Folland Gnat, The list goes on and on.. We have a friend who has a Mig 21!
There are so many, but I only included jets which were for sale at the time I was researching the script. I might write another covering a whole bunch more jets, but I have some other cold war jet videos I am working on first. I will get there.
That Saab 35 Draken looks beautiful!
She is most definitely something special to look at.
I would buy a Cessna Super Dragonfly. But I still love the Rockwell OV-10 Branco. Man are they fun to fly.
She a good looking aircraft, no doubt.
If money wasn't an object then... The Phantom. No contest.
And the SAAB, and the MIG21, maybe throw in the Albatross?
@@AviationRepublic lol why not
the SAAB 34 Draken (Dragon) is still VERY fast compared to newer Gen jet fighters.
Raw Swedish power.!!
the fuel prices is what you should be worrying about; buying a plane is like a one-time purchase, however, for the fuel, you'll have to replenish a lot, and fuel for aircraft is quite expensive, moreso than normal car fuel
Yeah, true, I would have sold my soul for a fuel tank that never ran dry.
I've long felt the Phantom F4 is the jet I want to own. It has such unusual body contours and can go Mach-2. Moreover, parts should still be available as it is used by some air forces.
She has to be one of the most beautiful design ever, there is one in my local museum, they have opened the cockpit for visitors to peer into, beast of a machine.
Would love to have an F-4. I live a few minutes from the Phantom Works. But, alas, I couldn't even afford a tank of JP-8 for it.
As a plus, that SAGEBURNER record is STILL unbroken. 😉
I worked on the f-4c gun in early to mid seventies. So I can't be absolutely certain, but at the time, I was told, there were several hanger queens and several that couldn't fly. These were always breaking down and leaking red oil so we always referred to them as bleeding. The fly to maintenance ratio was bad and I suppose one would need to find a lot of test equipment and buy lots of spares. The f-16 was supposed to end that ratio, if it did I don't know. However, if I had billions in the bank I would definitely buy an f-4.
It has always been a question on my mind why some machines are just plagued with issues and an "Identical" one is 100% reliable. I once read that cars built on Friday afternoons would be the least reliable. How true that is, who knows. You are 100% correct, If I had the cash to buy any of these aircraft, I would most definitely have the cash to run them correctly, spares and all - :- )Joe
Fun video. Few years ago, there were F16s for sale on the Trade a Plane. If I won the lotto, my choice would be either the F16 or the A4 Sky Hawk.
Thank you, i try to add a little humour. Were the F-16 in good flying conditions or just the shells?
@@AviationRepublic They were in good flyable conditions. They were old former Israeli F16s.
“BuNo” is an abbreviation for “Bureau Number” which is similar to a registration or N number on a civilian aircraft. However, no one calls it “BuNo” or “B.U.N.O.” Other than that, nice summary of military aircraft for sale on Controller.
Thank you, I will bear that in mind. More videos to come,
I'd love to have the Draken, but I love living more, so Skyhawk. Also, I'm pretty sure I'd get whatever the FAA equivalent is to a speeding ticket for going supersonic somewhere I shouldn't.
The Draken would be insane to fly, to own...well, I don't want the huge bills.
@@AviationRepublic The Draken has a really deadly stall behavior that would probably kill you before you had to worry about the bills. It was so bad that the Saab put a dull knife on the joystick so pilots would let go of the stick when the stall vibration started.
But what a good looking aircraft. I have it on my list of planes to cover, Although not sure if anyone wants a 40 minute mini documentary on such a stunning plane. One way to find out I suppose.
FAA has supersonic restrictions over land, the concord could only do mach two over the Atlantic on its way to Europe.
@@edm2454 the widow maker F-104 nothing more dangerous. You flight this and dominate, you are Master pilot.
Buying is not the biggest issue.... keeping it in a flying state by certified procedures is much more expensive.
True, got to have those Elon Musk pockets.
I've dreamed of getting myself an ex-Army armoured car and driving it to the supermarket.
We share the same dream, only mine involves straight lines to the supermarket.
Operation cost 5,000 lol
wait 'til the supermarket staff gets their little mittens on a cheap container of RPGs or Kornets for parking violations... 😏👌
All jet powered aircraft require a tyoe rating and at least 1000 hour of flight time to opperate along with a private pilot certificate
1,000 hours is doable, i think the most I flew was 40 hours in a month, it's finding the time to get those hours.
Siai Marchetti- Lovely plane to fly, pretty standard parts although getting harder to get, and a simple Pratt & Whitney engine.
I think there’s an upgrade to JT15D-5. TBO is at least 3500 hours, OH cost I think was about $175,000.
I'll take two :-) Joe
Loads of technical/factual inaccuracies here so not one to particularly enjoy if you’re already into military jets, but a fun watch for the unfamiliar!
Thank you for the comment, I do try to get the technical info right, however, sometimes it does not go to plan.
At 6:31
MIG-21
You said its engine was, "non-afterbirning", and that it could fly at 1,390 mph.
That is quite a bit faster than the speed of sound, and the mig-21 was not a super cruising fighter jet!! That probably goes doubly for the trainer version....
Oh, and getting you to heaven faster than a homesick angel?? The airplane was known for an extremely high rate of takeoff and landing accidents....
Now I will go back to the video....
"The airplane was known for an extremely high rate of takeoff and landing accidents..." That's one way to get to heaven :-)
@@AviationRepublic
"I want to go to heaven, but not today!!" A quote from Enos Strate, deputy sheriff on "The Dukes of Hazzard"television series.....
The engine is afterburning. Those performance numbers are for the afterburning aircraft.
Gee, no F-104's. I think there are a few left in Italy, Turkey, etc. 90 days same as cash. Financing available...
I think it would take a very brave person to want to fly an F-104, I mean, I ain't saying no......would they take Amazon gift cards?
Have to borrow a stick of Beemans before launching that 104.
It is indeed the gum of pilots, however, not sure about "borrowing"
@@AviationRepublic There is a crew out of Florida operating 3 civilian F-104s.
Going to have to look that up, sounds wild.
L-39
flown one, and for what it costs and whats gonna cost to operate / hour is fucking awesome!!
Me not being jealous.....But I bet that was some experience, one day if and when I finally crack this RUclips malarkey, I might be able to afford something more glamorous than 30 minutes in a C150 :-) Joe
L39 is the smart buy. Easy to fly and maintain.
True, very true
The F-4 Phantom, would be my selection.
Though in Royal Navy 892 Squardon Fleet Air Arm, HMS Ark Royal, FG.1 Phanton colour scheme of the 1978's too.
Having an airworthy flying Phantom F-4, for the Air Show circuit in the UK and Europe, would be great.
As well as offering one off VIP flights, for one paid passenger in the rear seat.
That is to people who could afford, 10 to 15 Thousand Pounds, for a 30 to 40 minute flight.
To help raise necessary money, for the Phantom on-going maintenance and operational costs etc.
it would definitely be something for the bucket list. Not sure how my missus would feel about 15k missing from the bank account.
At last, the YT clip I was looking for!!
EXCELLENT video. Thanks. The A-4 Skyhwak my favorite. Nothing in aviation is cheap, specially spare parts, maintenance, fuel, certificates, training, etc...
Couldn't agree more! I want to get back to flying but every time I look at the cost of hiring a Cessna 152 spam can I decide otherwise.
@@AviationRepublic Understandable your point of view. Flying is expensive, I have just retired as an A320 airline captain and can tell you that and goes from the training to the end of the flight at the gate. I flied for 43 years.
Enjoy your retirement, you have earned it.
The F-4 Phantom max thrust WITH afterburner is 18,000 pounds
You are correct, I was supposed to write "11,870 pounds-force with afterburner" than add the number after the word "afterburner", but seems I must have gotten distracted.
Haha, love it. The intro was great!
Glad you liked it! Fun to make, one day we will all make it to the moon.
As much as I adore the Phantom, Skyhawk for me, more practical for popping to the shops in, but she's a beautiful little bird.
Good choice!
How much for an F5 *Sukoshi Tiger* (aka the “Freedom Fighter”)?
Probably around a couple of million dollars
There's currently an F5a for sale in California for just under 1M US.
Would do with Draken
Everyone is going for the Draken or the F4, kinda feel for the other jets, can I interest you in an A4 Skyhawk? :-)
@@AviationRepublic Draken was its time the most advanced jet figther #cobramanouver, and i kinda like its looks better but F4 would be my second choise💪
“What car ya got?”
“Fighter jet”
Imagine, one day maybe.
Great video. I award you one sub
Awesome, thank you! Very much appreciated. More videos to come.
Sounds like a private airforce to me, personally I want a kit plane weighing less then 165 ibs that I can fly with out a pilots license and bring home IN my car.
I think that can be arranged.
Pretty sure that there are mig 29's available on the civilian market.
That is probably the highest performance plane available.
Probably, not seen one advertised for sale, but I am sure they could be .
@@AviationRepublic I saw one advertised for sale a while back. I think it was in Florida, and someone said that Paul Allen had owned it for a while.
Purchasing a plane, boat, motorhome, etc. is cheap. Maintaining them is expensive. Airplanes require annual inspections that eat up 10s of thousands of dollars each year. 10+ year old motorhomes are not allowed in motorhome parks. Boats have high maintenance and/or storage/docking costs. For each the owner has two great days. The day they buy it, and the day they sell it.
Haha, exactly, the idea of buying one of these is very appealing, the reality is probably a financial blackhole, but as the saying goes, you cant' take it with you. I did not know the about old motorhomes not being allowed in motorhome parks. Although these machines are out of my reach, it's nice to dream. :-) Joe
@@AviationRepublic as I understand the issue with the old motorhomes is people staying a while and then just abandoning the old clunker motorhome. This leaves the park stuck with the past due rent and an old motorhome with little value and expensive fees to haul it off.
@@JBoy340a Ah, that makes sense.
What about the A-10 Warthog? I would love to just have a ride in one...
I’m here watching this thinking “that’s not bad”
I’d choose the phantom. And as one of the comments said something the cost of a mechanic. My dad happens to be a retired air force mechanic. And worked on the phantoms in the Philippines in the mid to late 80s.
min 8:10 The J35 is not "strictly" a single seater. There are 2 seater Draken, the Sk 35C trainer version
Thank you for pointing that out, noted for a future Draken Video.
The Draken (or The Kite, as is was named of) is capabel of speed more than Mach 2, they didn`t know howe fast is it, because it ran out of fuel long before it has accelerated fully out.
Any pilot will sell their soul for a fuel tank that will never run dry.
Now add the maintenance cost and you’ll quickly see why owning one of these isn’t a good idea.
DIY.....I mean, how hard can it be? (Said in a Clarkson voice)
Good thing I am an A&P!
Look - *Its GOT to be the Draaken - Its SHINIEST*
Without a doubt.
I think I'd have to buy or commission an aircraft carrier first before making up my mind.
I'm flat broke for now, so I'll have to settle for just listening Highway to the Danger Zone for now.
Thanks, now I have that song stuck in my head.....The video out tonight ought to be the answer to all our money issues :-) Joe
The Draken, SAAB 35
And the F4 for the weekends
What do you drive? Porsche. What about you? Me? I'm an Eagle driver 🤣
Imagine the "flex" as my kids would say.
An AMC Eagle?
@@AviationRepublic I believe that's Powers Boothe's line from Red Dawn. When asked what he flies, he says: I'm an Eagle driver :)
@@caeserromero3013Ah, right, It's been a while since I saw Red Dawn (The Original) Great film.
At 13:04
Tail art....
Any chance you got more video or stills of in this general location. Talking about the pictures of the S-211.
Whatever they paid the artist to paint art like that, it wasn't enough!! I would prefer to see more of the redhead it was to the side and in the background....but that was still beautiful!!
i will see what I can find for you. The art was..................interesting
@@AviationRepublic
The quality of the workmanship looked excellently done, even if you may not care for the subject matter....
I care, I am just easily distracted
@@AviationRepublic
"OOOOHHH!!!! New shiney!!"
Sorry, just was trying to make a small amount of fun....
I hope this day finds you fantastic!!
@@montecorbit8280 It's sunny here in Sunny old UK. Have a great day too.
My heart belongs to the Phantom, but my brain'll go with the Draken.
I tell you what, as a gesture of goodwill, take them both.
This IS a deep truth so take note.....
A flying Instructor once blessed my wallet with these very wise words:
*'If it Floats, Fsomething ...didn't quite catch that bit, or Flies ITS CHEAPER TO HIRE IT NOT BUY IT*
4 knee Kate's - That was the word !
Yeah, I know that one, never had a floater, but I have sure wasted more than enough on the second two.
If ($) was no object/ The Phantom of coarse. Without a doubt. One thing though, F-4 s guzzle fuel at an alarming rate. Be sure to have a tanker waiting when getting to altitude or you'll be coming back down the hard way. I was in 2 F-4 Phantom squadrons on 2 different carriers during Viet Nam.
Wow, I bet you have some great stories of those times.
that exact f-4 phantom ii is at my local airport
Hi. Are any two seater A-7Ks from ANG for sale? If yes, what is expected price?
You mean the A-7K Corsair II? If so, then you can pick one up (Non-Flying, airframe only, no engine, or avionics) for $50,000.
I’ll be happy with a Cessna Skymaster
Right now, I'd be happy flying a shoe box with wings
900mph on the deck sounds fast,... to everyone except an F-111 Pilot.
You missed the more recent 'must have',.. the MiG-29, which will out turn all of these, and out run most.
I might do another video soon, there are quite a few more I wanted to include, with a little more depth.
U need to scower the net more bud...ur content is great......u can add a version of ai 2that
I made another video, covering more aircraft to buy, check out the latest video, lots of crazy machines for sale :-) Joe
are there any T-37's or better yet A-37's around for sale?
Yes in a museum lol
@@lcfflc3887 when I was in the Air Force Art Program I had two rides in the A37, it seemed like a great, simple little jet for somebody with a little extra coin, plus quite a few ended up in other countries where it seems they could show up in the marketplace finally
Yes, the A-37 Dragonfly, she's a pretty little aircraft.
From my War Thunder experience, the strike master is not really for me.
Too slow?
On the A-4 Skyhawk, you show a lot of footage of A-4Fs while talking about the A-4C. You could have spent a little more than two minutes finding appropriate footage.
Noted, thank you for pointing out my error.
@@AviationRepublic No problem. That is one plane I have a bit of history with. My mother's cousin went down in one in the Pacific many years ago.
Also, I am fairly sure about this one. On the other hand, I was watching one where I misidentified a German tank. So, I am glad I got it right this time.
MAKE MORE OF THIS KIND OF VIDEOS
I will do, this was a bit of a fun video to make, I want to see if I can alternate between "Serious in depth" and "Fun, light hearted" content.
Might-21 definitely has afterburner
oh Yes....we can all afford one of these...
You think those were expensive, wait until you see the next lot, they will make your toes curl :-)
I wonder if any introduction of the American jet era if there are jets like the F-86 Sabre or F9F Pather jets.? But the F4 Phantom𖥂; will do it is American ingenuity and horsepower,👍🏻 I will repaint the bird Maze & Blue; also, name it the Wolverine-JetFighter. GOBLUE-NATTYUP🏆
I believe there are F-86 Sabres in private ownership.
Beside the L-29 Delfin the French Fouga Magister should be on the list. Same era, same role, but a way much cooler looking jet. Also Polish PZL TS-11 Iskra and Yugoslavian Soko J-21 Jastreb, Soko G-2 Galeb and Soko G-4 Super Galeb should be in this class.
Thanks for the heads up, I will make a note of those for another video. :-)
@@AviationRepublicall these Yugo planes have RR Viper engines and majority of the instruments inside are of Western origin.
Dragon As well as the F 4 Phantom, Mig 21, and A 4 Skyhawk is proper fighter jets.
The latest radar, missiler guideance systems and hud's + AMRAAM's or Meteor's, That would be my choice of... Payload. 😁
If i had the money to buy those old fighters for my own private airforce, if I had one, that is.
😂😂😂 😄👍
All we need is to win the lottery a few times. If only :-)
Draken
What NATO code name are you giving to the Mig-21? It's a 'Fishbed'. Not sure what that was you were calling it. I've sat in it's cockpit as well as a few of the newer Migs, like the 'Flogger D'.
I'm also familiar with the SAAB Draken. Excellent aircraft.
The Mig21U Trainer had the NATO assigned name of Mongol, the single seater was the Fishbed. Have you flown the Draken?
@@AviationRepublic NATO assigns names with the letter 'F' for fighters, 'B' for bombers, 'H' for helicopters, and 'K' for missles (air intercept). How would a name starting with 'M' fit into that?
I haven't flown any of them, I was an Eaglekeeper, - an F-15 Integrated Avionics Technician. I got to sit in all these foreign aircraft for two reasons. One, my second post was at Nellis AFB Eagle AMU right next to 'Red Flag' and I was a classified code courrier for visiting aircraft, and two, I got to attend what we called 'Adversary Threat Training', which was very, very classified until recently and I wasn't allowed to talk about it. Now that it's no longer classified, Google 'Constant Peg'. I trained in the 'Petting Zoo'.
About the SAAB, there is a guy in my current field that works in Arizona and there is an airfield near our campus there that still has one of the Drakens that was once on loan to the USAF. He went there and took pictures of it for me. I think you can see it on Google Maps with the proper coordinates.
Oh, btw... My first post was Kadena AFB, Okinawa, Japan. Guess what I got to see there? Habu 1 and Habu 2, SR-71 Blackbirds. I got to watch them spin up a flight with the big block start carts on the SAC side once. This was the late 1980's.
That's a good question, I need to dig a little deeper in the Mongol name.
I am envious that you got to experience all of those amazing machines.
delfin/delfín means dolphin:D
It does indeed.
So I can buy one of these fighter jets for less money than a new battery for an EV. Isn't that just something?
Yeah, I#m not buying one any time soon,EV or Jet
The A-4F is my favorite, but we have to consider the spare parts, etc...Thanks but I would rather have something else. Nothing in aviaton is cheap.
We should have bought Bitcoin in 2009 :-(
How about the F-16 Fighting falcon? Didnt that became civil owned at some point?
I think so, but I only included jets I could find for sale while I was researching the video.
Cool :)
What about the Fouga Magister?
I was not able to find one for sale when I was researching, there are quite a few jet that have been for sale in the past, but I wanted to keep it to jets for sale at the time of writing.
Great intro, made me laugh.
All i need are some bitcoins, around 5,000 should be enough.
I'd buy all these jets.
You and me both!
UH... that is a no brainer F4 all the way!
She's a great aircraft, But you would not say no to the others if you absolutely had to?
You can see the curvature of the earth below 14,000 feet.
As a omani amma get that strike master
Not me, I would buy a Tank.
Which one?
Watching this video,I’d prefer to stick with my go kart maintenance……
You can feel the dollars leaving the bank account just thinking about maintaining one of these, jets.
Good sale speech.
Thank you, How many can I put you down for?
@@AviationRepublic I think I have to get some winner lottery tickets before, the Draken is a nice aircraft, it has been used in Denmark.
I know I left my wallet laying around here somewhere. Has anyone seen my wallet?
Watch out for my next video, I have something for everyone there.
JUST get a good home flight simulator like DCS OR MSFS 2020..VR OR MOTION PLATFORM...A LOT SAFER AND YOU CAN PAUSE IT AND GO GET A DRINK AND GO POTTY,...AND YOUR POCKET BOOK WILL THANK YOU TOO....
I have recently gotten a little addicted to watching videos of people creating the most insane home builds, with motion in their homes. The level of skill is breath taking.
@AviationRepublic OH yeah....SOME OF THESE HOME SIMS ARE ON PAR WITH THE MILITARY SIMS..That are worth millions of dollars. Plus the hom simmers are Pilots..some ex military
.
It's interesting how civilian tend to be on the cutting edge with limited budgets and can do amazing things..
A good example is SpaceX ..Elon Musk was snubbed by NASA over twenty years ago..they laughed at him when he proposed launching the first stage rocket and having it land back on earth upright and being used again and again..
IMPOSSIBLE!!! NASA SIAD...
HOLD MY BEER..SAID ELON.. 😃
It's not the price of the plane it's the cost of the maintenance.😱😭
Very true, everything and anything to do with aviation is somehow triple the price.
Phantom, all day every day.
And weekends in the SAAB?
It's funny how some folks think trainers are fighters.
The next list is going to be more focused on war machines,
I don't think the F4 was designed as a trainer.
@@TomConrad-td5qi I didn't say it was. Most of the jets in the video are trainers. I guess I was too subtle with my comment.
A fellow pilot at our local airport owns 2 M-15's he bought from China, one flies others is a parts victim
Nice, single or twin seat, and if it's a twin, have you bagged a ride?
@@AviationRepublic Yes I have begged a ride and even offered $100 bucks they are both twin seats.
Some people just can't be reasoned with, well, you tried.
if I am not paying would take the F4
It's a tough choice between the Draken and the F-4 for me, but I like being this side of the dirt, so, I will take the Albatross.
@@AviationRepublic if truth I would want a f-86 as the old man worked on them back in the day in Canada
Your title should have been CHEAPER than the price of a sports car!
Funny you should say that, at work today, talking about cars and someone mentions an EV going for $120,000, a sedan, $120,000 for a EV sedan, insane.
how about the A6 intruder
Is there one for sale right now?
@@AviationRepublic gov't put restrictions on the A6, i know of one, only has 1700 hours on it , if that bird could be released there is enough of us old maintainers around we could have it FMC in 3 months
Now that would be something, first need to win the lottery a few times over.
If I was in the market for a JET FIGHTER!!! It sooooooo annoys me that you moderns have transposed the two words - and ridiculously so in most cases because you apply them willy-nilly - to MULTI-ROLE aircraft.
F4 Phantom - hands down - got up close and friendly with one back in 1988 during a fantastic week in Florida - (which included a VIP invite to see The Shuttle Discovery launch doanchaknow!)
On the down side - I've known four guys who not only loved to fly like fighter pilots but also managed to earn enough to buy themselves a Spitfire........ they've all made big impressions in the ground and earnt a free harp to go with their wings.
It would be hard to pass up the F4. Sorry to hear about those guys, what a shame.
So.. where do I find a spare J-whatever? You don't! Ask IRAN how to keep 27 F-14's flying! They started with 55. Cannibalism! Only 5 are flight worthy.
That's a very good question, no doubt they have probably developed the engineering to manufacture the parts, never looked into it, but it would make for interesting research, mmmmmm......possible video, trip to Iran maybe???
