Sorry, but that is false. There have been several privately owned A4's
(while the A4 was still in service) a handful of T-38's and 2 F-5's flying
today with private ownership. FAA registered. Not only are the T-38 and F-5
supersonic, they both could be loaded out with weapons. (That would not be
legal but the ability is there)

I had the opportunity to fly one of the F-5s and an A-37 so I know this is
factual. I personally know a gentleman who owns and flies an A-37
regularly. He has one the most impressive collections of military aircraft
one could own. T-34, T-28, P-51, F4U along with his A-37 and several
others.

If I had the time or inkling, I could go the FAA site and compile a list of
privately owned "current" US military fighter, attack and trainer aircraft.

PS - All CIA and NASA birds are registered civil aircraft and could be, if
these agencies so desired, sold to private concerns. I included the CIA as
many CIA aircraft used in SE Asia made their way back to the US in private
hands and are still being flown today. (Mary, I know some of the NASA birds
would NEVER be sold)

NO!
Nobdy can buy any military aircraft that is still supported by FMS
without definitive approval from the State department PERIOD, it's
definitely a bogus ad.
