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...

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

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

Pffffft. I'm savin' up for one of these babies.

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.
