Once asked a friend why he sold his Corvette. He replied that after flying an F-111 at supersonic speeds when 200 feet above a desert, cars just didn't thrill any more.

There are speed limits for airplanes over the US land areas. So you have to fly out to the ocean to go supersonic. The fuel bill would be breathtaking.
Funny ad. There are some former (Soviet) military jets in private hands. I think I heard the US does not allow jet fighters to be sold for use my non military.

Paul Allen had some fully functional military planes, jets, tanks.
I expect that others do too. Even Wayne D has that tank-like thing.

There is fast and feeling fast. A gocart with your arse a few mm of the tarmac feels very fast.

True true... ^
I suppose it would depend on how close to the ground (or mountain peaks) you flew that thing.
