I'll bet the resale value on those really took a nosedive with all the high quality Taliban merch coming onto the black market lately.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'd bet it's a lot more. Probably a lot more given the maintenance domestically produced jets need. No idea if any particular special expertise would be needed to work on one but I imagine anyone seriously entertaining buying this can probably afford to fly it. |

That would be fun to violate a TFR with. I wonder if you got a running start if you could run the interceptors out of gas.
