Re: F-15s are expensive
Don't know what I'd do with it, but I want it
I'm sure in 30 years people will be building 2/3 scale ones like they do with WWII fightersRumors of my demise by rollover have been greatly exaggerated. -

Re: F-15s are expensive
what would you do with that.
I remember a guy local had some mig (?) from overseas, it actually flew. crazy millionares...
this auction stuff reminded me to wander around for the m1009 (6.2 l diesel blazer- $33k cost to gov't when new)
right now there is 216 of them across the country..
I would swap for the modern injector fix and go with it... :
I also found parts auctions...damn, grab a crated 6.2...
I hope to do this, just for one of course.

Re: F-15s are expensive
30 G should get you a flying one!Originally posted by Eagle Kammback
I have a buddy here in Council Bluffs that bought a pair of SU-29s for $8500. One of them is now almost in flying condition - the bitch is, he has to have the ejection seat deactivated before he can fly it as an "Experimental"
Yes, I will make sure 1320video.com is there if he ever flies it out of our local airfield!www.realtuners.com - catch the RealTuners Radio Podcast on Youtube, Facebook, iTunes, and anywhere else podcasts are distributed!Comment

Re: F-15s are expensive
Crazy millionaires? Talked to a guy with a MiG at the 1989 EAA fly-in at Oshkosh. Bought it from the Yugoslav military for $20,000 American. Super sonic jet for 20 grand not to mention fighter jet.Comment

Re: F-15s are expensive
Gov't stripped all of the sensitive avionics and such out of the 15's when that plane was retired, and they keep that stuff under lock n key. Iran was sold a bunch of F15s during the cold war, and when we pulled out of there, the military and civilian personnel that were contracted to keep them maintained for the Iran gov't were told to strip certain parts off of the Iranian fleet so they could not fly them. I don't think you'll see a retired F15 airborne any time soon due to that reason alone.....Whiskey for my men ... and beer for their horses!Comment

Re: F-15s are expensive
Anyone remember Lt. Warf from StarTrek? The Klingon dude with the anger management issues?
The actor that played him has a mint F-4 Phantom. He cruises it to airshows.
Stuck in traffic? Nah. Mach 2 right above it.Comment

Re: F-15s are expensive
I imagine that maintenance to keep a jet fighter running safely would be beyond most guys budget
