If I could afford it why couldn't I own it was the question. Although I am still interested in others opinions on the matter.

This leads to another question in my mind. Would it be possible if I were in possession of my own fighter aircraft (keeping with the same platform here) to be issued a Letter of Marque?

I posed the question that if I could afford an F/A-18 complete with all the trimmings why shouldn't I be able to have one.
