    The Mig 29 in Quincy, Illinois was fully restored and is qualified to fly in the United States along with the Su 27 though I believe it may have been sold to the US military, one was spotted in a mock dogfight with an F16 near Area 51 a few years ago. Also all fighter jets you buy will be demilitarized so no weapons and things like that.

      A10 warthog is not a fighter. It is a ground attack CAS platform. That's why it is an A 10, not an F10. The F/A 18 is a dual role aircraft and does both. The F16 is a fighter that has ben modified to give CAS to troops, but is notgeared toward fighter, which is where it excels.

    Back in 1975, I was so lucky to see the Red Arrows fly the Folland Gnat as their planes. This event took place at a time the pilots were allowed to fly over the public at very low altitude, before the Ramstein airshow accident in 1988. The Red Arrows started their performance by having all nine planes arrive at the same spot from all directions at the same time, at slightly different, but very low altitude, barely a few feet above the ground, over the public.. They were flying so low that you couldn't see or even hear them coming. Breathtaking!!

      @@jonnyboing9177 Indeed you are correct, sir. I was a fuel systems tech. I was happily serving at RAF Upper Heyford when in January 1970 I was dragged, kicking and screaming to ZW (well, as much as a tech sergeant is allowed to kick and scream, that is). You would have loved the place in those days. When the Canadians left they locked every door inside and out and threw the keys into several 55-gallon drums. The first order of business for all new arrivals was to sort through piles of keys to find the ones to open the doors of the areas assigned as offices or shops. I believe most of the enlisted barracks and bachelor officers Q's were open and serviceable but family housing units (Three-story stairwell units, God you just had to love them) were not available for about 60 to 90 days. So you were there still flying missions there 10 years later? Thanks for the memories.

    I did one backseat ride in an A-4 Skyhawk from NAS Key West, FL while my F/A-18 squadron was there to fly against an aggressor squadron using them. Fantastically fun aircraft to fly in - the only thing, it has a tiny cockpit if you are a big person. The pilot was the CO of the aggressor squadron and he put a hurting on me - some very high g maneuvering.

    I built BAE / British Aerospace Hawk for almost 20 years. For a short time the whole production of the aircraft was at Brough in East Yorkshire - raw material would be driven through the front gate and we’d send a jet off down the runway. It was an amazing achievement for a small factory in Yorkshire . Sadly Bae pulled the plug on the manufacturing side of the plant and we all had to find other jobs.

      @Biggus Dickus Phantom could pack a bigger radar, and carry more armaments, but the Tiger has better control response and tracks more smoothly, and would therefore be my choice for a civilian personal aircraft regardless of price. (Although I would go with the T-38 Talon trainer variant so I could bring a friend.)

    I have personally seen 2 AV-8 (Harrier) accidents. One at MCAS Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii and one at MCAS Cherry Point, NC. Considering I was only on those air stations during my career because I was not an air winger, the Harrier was a widow maker. Especially the AV-8A. The Marine Corps was the only service in the USA to use it.

    The A-4 is not a fighter. I flew the F-4 and $2,900,000 might buy this one but you would go broke keeping it in the air. Even on active duty, they were beasts to keep flying and the support equipment is staggering. The J-79 engine while being one of the best was a maintenance nightmare. Every stator blade on it was moveable with the throttle so you can just imagine the linkage that went with it. It also meant no turbo lag or windup like most jets at the time. Instant thrust! A little-known fact but the F-4 could carry more ordinance than a B-17 bomber.

      Also fairly maint. free. When a Russian defected to Japan, US Gov. took the Mig to Area 51 thinking they may get a few flights out of it before having to service it and without parts it would be useless. They ended up flying it for years without needing service (parts obviously). Interesting story. This is where they found out how robust and durable the Russian equipment was. Very different mindset in Russia. These planes are stationed way out in the middle of nowhere with few support personell and sit for months on end with little flight time. Nato fleet is way better serviced, but that equipment also needs it more. Our systems are way more fine tuned, but less robust IMO.
