Can you buy a fighter jet? - GoFuckYourself.com

BigBen · 03-20-2006, 08:30 PM

With enough money, you think you can buy an F-16 or a Mig off the russians or something? No weapons on it, just the jet to go fly. I don't see why not, if you can have your own G5 or whatever, why not a jet?

Larry Ellison owns a mig and a couple others

bogo · 03-20-2006, 08:33 PM

iv seen a Mig for sale on ebay

DaddyHalbucks · 03-20-2006, 09:28 PM

I think you just have to remove the guns.

A special permit is probably required.

jizpedlr98 · 03-20-2006, 09:53 PM

You can get it stripped than order the guns seperately and reattach them

Pornwolf · 03-20-2006, 09:56 PM

I think Travolta owns a fighter jet too.

KRL · 03-20-2006, 09:56 PM

Yes you can.

alan-l · 03-20-2006, 10:01 PM

Hey, that's cooler than my Mini Cooper!

Spunky · 03-20-2006, 10:15 PM

Must cost a shitload of money and have the right contacts

BusterBunny · 03-20-2006, 10:18 PM

it depends on which kind of jet and from which country it is purchased...most good united states airforce planes are not sold with arms nor engines for security purposes....

Why · 03-20-2006, 10:25 PM

yes but youll need many years of pilot experience before anyone will let you fly it in thier airspace.

I think they are just passenger planes-a big one and a small one..

I know about a few MIG 21s for sale by the serbian airforces...

I do not know if you can fly them though. The price was 15k USD...

reed_4 · 03-20-2006, 11:47 PM

If the you have the right money, why not?

BigBen · 03-21-2006, 12:30 AM

I wanted to be a jet pilot when I was a kid, but that's not gonna happen so I figure I better be rich and just buy a jet instead. A harrier like the one from True Lies would be pretty cool.

Making a sonic boom would be pretty sweet too...

I don't know that I'd want to fly a 15k MIG. Something about a Honda Civic costing more than a fighter jet just doesn't add up.

Used submarines are where it's at!

you can make your own sonic boom by simply getting a whip. That "crack" you hear is a sonic boom

But not nearly as cool as the vapor cloud in the picture.

tristan_D · 03-21-2006, 12:58 AM

If I had enough money, I would buy other things beside a fighter jet.

Why · 03-21-2006, 02:33 AM

id rather have a tank.

Nuts, I had this nice long reply (longer than this one) explaining the pros and cons of private fighter jet ownership and GFY took a dump on me.

So the cliff notes are...

Yes you can buy just about anything your heart desires, but you can't buy it with guns or bomb racks as the BATF and the FBI have real shitfits over that, you also need to make sure that all your T's are crossed and I's dotted when bringing whatever into the country, otherwise you will have one helluva of static gate guardian for your hanger/house.

Yes, you can buy jets out of crates for about $15K but I wouldn't let a monkey be the pilot in command there, or even feel safe flying it as a remote air-to-air drone without dropping another $100K into it.

Keep in mind if you have your heart set on MiG's that you will be paying plenty in shipping, storing and flying these parts in from generally a third-world nation that more than likely has stopped flying this aircraft in the first place.

Know that you will have to get a private pilots license, a medical certificate, ideally an IFR cert, and you will need at least 1000 hours as pilot in command before the FAA would OK you to fly your own toy.

Figure on blowing about a couple million if you want to get a MiG-21 or MiG-29 and about $500K for a L-39.

Any other questions, drop me an ICQ, and I will try to help you as much as possible!
