read the small print on ebay about this...fucking funny:

Blue Angel for sale Navy plane shows up on eBay Nicole Lozare @PensacolaNewsJournal.com After almost 50,000 hits in two days, no one is buying what Mike Landa is selling on eBay. Everyone just wants to know how he acquired the Navy Blue Angels' F/A-18 Hornet. Landa and Associates of Washington state is selling the jet for $1,050,000 - some assembly required. It's a bargain compared to the jet's usual $18 million price tag. A former Blue Angel F-18 Hornet is for sale on ebay. Click here to view the sale. "It has been acquired legitimately," said Landa, who said he was visited by the FBI on Tuesday, a day after he posted the jet on the popular Internet auction site. Landa, an aircraft and telecommunications broker, is keeping a tight lip on the owner's identity. He met the owner in California while purchasing airplane parts. Wednesday afternoon, Blue Angels spokesman Mike Blankenship confirmed the aircraft's heritage. "According to the bureau number, it was a Blue Angels plane flown in the early '90s," said Blankenship, who has no clue how Landa acquired it. "It was stricken from the Navy's inventory in 1994." According to the Department of Defense, the Navy's planes are not usually sold to private citizens. When an aircraft is retired, officials determine if it should be kept for wartime reserves. If the aircraft doesn't pass muster, it is demilitarized - military insignia and sensitive equipment, such as ejection seats, are removed. The aircraft is then sent to a boneyard. "The Navy has programs where this aircraft is leased to museums," said department spokesman Lt. Cmdr. Cappy Surette. "Occasionally, it can be sold to third parties on a case-by-case basis. But Navy policy prohibits reselling of these aircrafts." The official word on eBay's Blue Angels jet? "We are aware, and the matter is being looked into," Surette said. Officials at the National Museum of Naval Aviation had the same response. Landa's eBay site claims the aircraft was "never demilled, not cut ever," and comes with bomb racks, drop tanks and pylons. The aircraft, which has not been flown in years, is stored in California. Landa said there must have been "a screw up" for the owner to acquire a demilitarized aircraft. He is optimistic that a buyer will step up _ probably a private collector who he hopes to talk into leasing the aircraft back to the government for some photography work. Landa has a pretty clean eBay record. A member since 1998, he has a 97.3 percent positive feedback from more than 400 buyers. But the Blue Angels jet is just small potatoes. Landa is also selling a new aircraft "that climbs straight up" for $10 million.

i doubt if they are still in good condition.. then why auction it?

i wonder if i can get a bulk discount

Oh man, that would look nice next to my wrecked Ferrari in the garage of my burned out 7-million dollar mansion.

Can I write a check?

Nice shit.

How many people could fly the fucking thing though, nice if you had the money but I dont think many people could do anything with it.

Droooool, I want one...

Saw a news byte the other day where they were auctioning an aircraft carrier.

Now THAT would be a cool purchase....

Hentaikid, send me an email with your contact information if you have some spare time. I have a question for you. rick AT dollars.com

Would rather have this, it looks FREAKIN COOL!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=3078183551

wow, what a way to show off how much dough you have...use a fighter jet as a lawn jockey.

Pfft... $1 million for the bird, and another $5+ million for the spares.

Better off buying old MiG's from Poland.

Currently just over a million $ and then $9 million to assemble, then I guess self assembly is beyond most people's capabilities!

Flying is so very much easier then driving a car.

What would worry me more is the running costs. A lot of these
over powered jets and V12 sized things burn around $1,500/hr in
fuel not including maintenance.

I could assemble some of it, I worked special projects and airframe mainframe assembly for general dynamics for a decade or so. worked on everything form dc10-11, tomahawk, land air sea, Atlas, glcmm , endevour shuttle body and other programs. I also helped with the stealth criuse missle that I havent heard any one ever talk of yet. (My non disclosure is well over and they sold us out to hughes in 95 so fuck m.)

hughes even stole my ringwing and i will never forgive them for that. Im a bit bitter on that whole thing yet. I'd love to put that hornet into flying shape. My friend worked airframe and powerplants at north island SD. my other friend works in bremerton on GD boomers (subs). GD threw away so much cool stuff when they sold out it wasnt funny. Air force plant 19 building #8 had a lot of cool things floating around. Not to mention a centuar deepspace probe capsule in building 4, no one ever mentioned those either. That thing was awesome. I also got to help the russian inspection (under START ) team when they came to inspect our facitlities for ACM violations.

got to go.....
