Wow! Real F/A 18 Hornet for sale on Ebay

The foundation is 'relatively' trusted and the aircraft was acquired pre
9/11... It's a whole new world out here, now... The guys who have Mig 15's
etc., are discovering that...

I have a whole bunch of money to wager with anyone who believes that YOU can
now simply hand someone a bearer note from a swiss bank for a Mach 2.7
fighter, complete with missile racks, electronics, and red fire control
switches, and disappear down the road with it, no questions asked....
jeezzzzz, I just love a sure bet...

"There are ways around government disapproval. I used to see an
F-104 Starfighter at airshows that was privately owned. The gov. did
not approve of private citizens buying one of these, but there wasn't
a whole lot they could do about this guy.

Claims to be a former Blue Angels ship. Current bid at a little over a
million dollars. They also claim that for 9 million, they'll
re-assemble it, paint it, and render it airworthy. Has an N-number.

Even though most of the bids were bogus, I guess the seller always has the
option of working back through the bids to see if any were genuine. I'd
think of it as being more of a promotional exercise than any real hope of a
sale.
