Privately owned military aircraft

I found a neat site with a few military aircraft for sale:Turbine Military Aircraft Piston Military Aircraft . Do you guys know of any more for sale?

I used to see all kinds of military planes for sale when I worked at a flight school. Aerotrader I think was the name of the paper we carried. It had everything from Cessna's to WWII to MiGs....

If you have money, the Russians will sell it. You could probably buy the Su-47 off of them if you had cash. Oh, and look at that MiG 21 on there! 147,000 and two spare engines. I'm tempted, I really am.

This thread reminds me of an advert I saw in the classifieds in the back pages of Flight in the early 80's;

FOR SALE - 12 Hawker Hunters and ancillary equipment, excellent condition, well maintained.

It was like a car ad

I can't find the website just now, but there is a really good one for second hand fighters where I have seen Mig-27 and Sepcat Jaguars for sale.

I'd have to wonder how the PTB would react seeing a foreign fighter jet zipping around our airspace. I bet you would become pretty popular.

Check out these sites.

I hope they help.

If I had the money, I would have my own air force.

WoW am I reading correct a MIG-29 and Su-27 For Sale : www.aviatorsale.com...

If I hit the Mega Million lotto Im buying Both the Saab Draken and the Canadian F-86. Amazing craft and look very well kept.
I know their was a Russians arms for sale sight based is Eastern Europe a few years back with prices but cant seem to find the link.

I still love seeing that french aircraft carrier being sold on e-bay.

There's also been some Harriers sold recently.

I'm thinking that if you have the money, your likely to be able to buy just about anything.

That's the one that I'd want. We used to have them out at Hickam, and they were so much FUN to watch flying. They would dive on the runway at the most insane angles.

Hey Zaph,
Aerotrader online

Enjoy.

OK, all you guys with the potential to start your own Air Corp, I think this is great. Now all we need is an international arms dealer to get you outfitted, and you can start your own country.

There's a couple of islands for sale, so the location isn't a problem.

Then, just declare war on a western power, but surrender as soon as they show up. That way, to keep you economically viable, the US will spend a couple of billion dollars 'rebuilding' you. Ask for schools, casinos, and hotels, plus a good docking facility for cruise ships.

What a plan. Btw, can I get a cabinet level job as Minister of Finance?

Nice. I used to spend all day flipping through the paper version of this. They had anything and everything for sale in it. This was one of the best out there that I could find.

Probably one of the very best warbird sites (as far as for sale goes) is courtesyaircraft.com. For most of the planes it's not so much the cost of the plane but its feeding and upkeep that will bankrupt you. I own a high performance single engine plane and the annuals alone run me $2k. The L-39 is one of the most popular jet (turbine) military planes. You can buy a nice one for maybe $300k. They have a relatively low fuel burn (for a jet) but will still guzzle Jet-A at a rate of 135gal/hr. At current prices that's a tad over $600hr to fly. Ouch!

I read a while back about a f-18 that was for sale

The price for the jet, which formerly belonged to the Navy's Blue Angels aerial demonstration team, is just over $1 million on the auction firm eBay, or about $9 million for a buyer who wants it assembled, painted and certified ready-to-fly.

I remember seeing an AH64 for sale in the UK for like 9 mil that would be the fastest executive transport going!


Look up a guy named Don Kirlin. He owns a bunch of L39's a few Mig 29s and some other crazy stuff. He operates red air which is supposedly the largest private airforce in the world They get paid to be the OPFOR for training exercises

I want that F86!! I love browsing web pages like that.Thanks.

The Drakken is mighty sweeeeeeeeeeeeeet too.

I'm saving my nickels and dimes until the A-10 comes up on the auction block. Until then, I'm heading over to the hog country forum to see if I can bribe any of the pilots from the 442nd to do a gun run on my house the next time they're over town!

You can find some neat planes on ebay once in a while too.
