Buy the Ride of Your Life

Quote:

If you like the idea of a jet but not the thought of doing it yourself, John Morgan has you covered. He’s got a pair of beautifully restored Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker jets. They’re for sale, joining a very elite group of former military fighter jets offered for private ownership in the United States.

If you’ve always dreamed of being a fighter pilot, but missed your chance at the military route, this might be your chance to become a Top Gunski without having to deal with the Iceman trying to steal the limelight.

Um, anyone got $5,000,000 I can borrow? I'll take you for a ride.

Hmm... If I only could win that lottery...:D Are local airport would have a new package... in the shape of a SU-27.

hmmmm. I'm thinking of what the residents of Rock Falls, IL would think if they saw a SU-27 passing overhead. They would think the russians were invading. That region is still trapped in the 80's

EDIT: @TF, Aren't you 16? lol, unless the laws are totally whacked out where you live, I think you gotta be 18. XD

I want it equipped with real radar and real A2A missiles too :rotfl2:

My favorite plane hey it looks pretty at least if you're shot down you're going down in style :)

But I guess it would be too expensive I would be happy enough with a Ferrari . . .

One of the best looking jets ever IMHO but you would need a lot more than 5 million to run it and keep it maintained.

Besides, I've two kids so I'd only be interested if there were three for sale :DL

She's a beaut of a plane that Flanker, I certainly wouldn't say no, if they threw in a MiG-29 as well that would be most excellant. :rock:
