I know it's AMAZING isn't it!?! I love it. Now I know who sells them, who imported them, who maintains them, etc. So when I finally make the money you can rest assured it WILL be mine!! I can just imagine the fun I would have with that thing. I would absolutely love to mess around with it. Hell, I'd go to NY just for dinner. One thing though, everyone tells me that it is illegal to go supersonic in the U.S., but no where in the FAA rules does it say you can't do that. Anyone know better?

They are asking $4.95million. I guess for now I will settle for an L-39, so as to build up time. My father wants to buy one with me. Perhaps at the end of next year if things go well. WOOHOO!!

How about this video:

For that aircraft, $5 million doesn't sound too bad. I know of LOTS of execu-jets that are in the $20 million plus range, so having a $5 million toy that can perform like that would be worth it. Of course, the average schmo, esp. one with that much money, is likely NOT a former fighter pilot, so plenty o' training would be in the cards.

 

since your flight would be filed as a civil flight going supersonic would be a no go

but what the hell.....just owning a Jet is so fking awesome that it beats anything else

 

darn no SS flights

oh well guess I'll just go 699 mph

 

Thanks for that.

 

Wait, who would pull you over for going SS every once in a while?

 

Just go out of US airspace... and let 'er rip.

 

I want.

 

Onboard fuel won't get you far. Need to buy an accompanying refueler with it....

 

the practicality of this plane for civilian use is 0. that just means its 100% fun.
