Out2gtcha Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Sweet! When attending AV in Wisconsin for many years, it was always fun to go to the bulletin boards and see casual papers stuck to the board advertising sales of things like T-28s and fully/partially restored P-51s, all in the 500,000 to 5,000,000 range at the time depending on condition. Crazy stuff to be rich! Martinnfb and Pete Fleischmann 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldbaldguy Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Lessee: $850K for the airplane, $850K for insurance, $850K for a years worth of gas, probably another $850K in required maintenance and another $850K to bribe the spousal unit into letting you buy it. So, yeah, that’s a pretty good deal. Oh, and it probably doesn’t turn any better than a Tomcat.

Pete Fleischmann Posted November 29, 2023 Author Share Posted November 29, 2023 I bet to get that T-38 flying would take another million $. but it’s all there- P Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You still haven’t finished your Smurf jet - can’t imagine how long it would take you to put a full-sized one back together.
