MIG29 Anyone?

[Mellow Chaos]

Attn: Mods - I know we're not supposed to post auction links, but this is too good! Who wants to be the first "pre-approved" bidder?

No Dumbed Down Weapons System on This Bad Boy!

 

[panella]

I was gonna' bid on it but I noticed somebody "keyed" it out in the parking lot.

 

[Emanuel]

No thanks, all the switches are in russian. I'd probably end up ejecting myself while trying to find the "on" button.

On one of those Discovery Channel shows, they had footage of Korean-war era test pilots working out a captured Mig-17. The cockpit had pieces of tape stuck all over, with legends like "altimeter", "engine temp", and so forth.

The pilot complained that the heater wasn't very good, which led to an indignant reply from the Russians, who claimed they made very good heaters; the one in the test plane must have been defective, or they didn't know how to turn it on....

So you need a navigator/translator. I can do that!

The heater was very good -- for a Russian pilot from north of the tree line.

What? No Buy It Now?

Financing is available through PayPal.

Notice that some parts are "in storage in Kyrgyz Republic and come with the aircraft." Does anyone even know where the Kyrgyz Republic is? Hopefully, the auction includes a map or something.

Oh, and if the Russian logos bothers you and you aren't very good with a Dyno labeler, the same folks have 3 F/A-18A Hornets available too:

Each one proclaims, "THIS IS THE ONLY ONE IN THE WORLD!! "

The Kyrgyz are a Turkic people of the formerly Soviet Central Asia. Where their republic is might be a matter of some debate, in the sense that nobody out there has any real feel for the concept of national borders.

 

[Mr.BadExample]

I think it's next to Kreplachistan.

 

[doomonyou]

I'm not much into flying. Now when they start selling off the T-34's I will be the first in line!

 

[Gollnick]

I think it's next to Kreplachistan.

Is that north or south of Nounderstan?

Anywhere near RealahRealahBahd?

 

[FoxholeAtheist]

I was going to get one of these, but the Su-27 gets better mileage around town, and fared better in Consumer Reports' crash testing.

Time to move up to a MiG!!

Parting out used F-18 Hornet.
Minor mid-air damage.
No reasonable offer refused.

 

[JTC]

Reckon they'd take a check?

 

[Practical Use]

I think you may be under rating this for home defense.

 

[johnniet]

Sure--if your home is under attack, climb in and fly away!
