SU-27 for sale on Controller

WHOLLY BALLS! Is that even legal. I can see it now. Take off, set of all the car alarms, and get direct climb to FL500, in less than a minute!
 
I saw this over on the AOPA forums. Somebody suggested that if you would happen to penetrate a TFR with one, you just chill out, wait for the F-16's to come along, and then wave as you pull away from them.

I'm pretty sure at that point the sidewinders would be up your ass, though.

Not until you fly inverted in a 4 g pushover while issuing public relations.

Seriously: Experiment, military class, I wouldn't doubt the legality. There are privately owned f14s and f16's according to the discovery channel.

There is a guy with a F-5 on the field. The aircraft still has to be put together as it is still in pieces from shipping. Yes, he does have engines with afterburners :cool:

Sure, why not? There's a guy at my company who he and his father own a couple of MiG-15's.

Jet warbirds are perfectly legal, but getting the appropriate LOA from the FAA to fly them is some work. Leftover memories of the F-86 that went into the Farrell's Ice Cream Parlor in Sept 1972 in Sacramento, resulting in 22 fatalities, still abound.

Unlike the AF A-7 that went into the IND Radission's lobby in 1987....:dunno:

Yeah. For the civil purposes, that F-86 crash is still remembered by the FAA.

The A-7 crash was from the 4450th, the original F-117A stealth Operations Group during the black days. The A-7 served as chase plane, proficiency aircraft, and cover role for the program. This one was on a cross country. Sucky part was that this accident was one of those "be a hero or be a zero" accidents........had he been able to dead-stick the A-7 into Indy, it'd be a great save. But albeit, he was taking an ASR letdown, popeye and dead-stick, and broke out of the WX past VDP and high. Tried to circle to a different runway, but was out of altitude, airspeed, and options. Sucks.
