Lucky him, I want one as well the trouble is where the heck do I park the Mig.

Perhaps he could take it to see Jeremy Clarkson's Lightning that he has parked in his garden!

We have one in the Netherlands who bought a MIG (Polish).

You can buy a mig kit for $22,000 however you need a licence to fly it in europe and also you cant fly it supersonic.

Linton · 05-01-06, 05:46 PM

You would have to spend a lot of money tring to get an aviation authority to certify it,let alone an engineering company to maintain it or somebody to teach you how to fly it!The Raf shackletons that were preserved went to the USA where one occasionally flies.If you ever get down to South Africa Thunder City has some Lightnings plus a Buc.This is why you will never see a Vulcan or concorde fly again!

Kapitan · 05-01-06, 05:52 PM

The CAA says they are too complicated to certify for flight. its sad realy.

Here in Quincy, IL we have someone who buys Warsaw Pact planes and rebuilds them to fly himself.

Lucky bugger, I could easily go a Mig...But I would prefer an F-15 Eagle any day

ooooh, nice MiG....

Now...where are they selling the 29s and the F-18s?

Actually...since I'd be doing this through the fiance's ebay account I'd better look out an F-14 too...

EDIT: That being said, I just found a Hawker Hunter (not airworthy

) on ebay for Â£3,000

STEED · 05-02-06, 11:10 AM

MIG 29 sounds good to me.

nikimcbee · 05-02-06, 10:20 PM

I want to buy a foxtrot or kilo...Maybe subsim could pool it's money together and we could buy a Typhoon. It could be the ultimate party boat
