Ah, but a MiG would be certified Experimental/Exhibition. You'd need a
letter of authorization for every flight.

incorrect, LOA is issued in lieu of a type rating for a pilot to operate
such an aicraft to begin with, it is not a document issued for every flight.
Even regular flights in Class G airspace are fairly unrestricted, you only
need approvals from FSDO for x-country flights and flights over populated
areas, which at a difference of 2 mil in price might not be such a hassle.

p.s. QOTW candidate: "...average pilot won't even have time to get
scared"?

seriously, I'm a firm beliver that no pilot without proper professional
(read military-style training) should be allowed anywhere near such
aircraft, we have NTSB busy as is with Cessnas and Pipers, one can only
imagine how many holes in the Earth will be made with these lawn darts.
