Default Saudi AirForce auctioning off 79 old F-5 fighter jets

They say the bidding is to start at one million dollars, but that you should buy at least five to get a useable fighter plane.

This week the Saudi Air Force and the Pretoria mission of the kingdom confirmed that the offer is genuine, the auction legitimate and that anybody can make a bid for one or several supersonic and missile-capable warplanes.
For just a few dollars compared to what a new F-35 would cost we should manufacture these planes again to fly without pilots at tree top & sea wave level for an all out war carrying a nuclear payload or even an airburst weapon knocking out all electronics in the area of explosion in case a bullet got lucky.
