F-14 for sale
Growing up my dad would take me to air shows, one of the closest is/was Point Mugu Navel Base... they did the weapons systems for the E-14 so of course there was always flying and displays with the F-14.
All that to say I have always had a soft spot in my heart for the old Tomcat. We have an air and space wing here at work and they sell bomber jackets for kids... one was all done up with tomcat patches... so being the perpetual 12 year old I wonder if they have these in adult sizes... I google 'tomcat bomber jacket' and get this... Who needs a sinking jacket when you can have the real thing (it's only a model)! F-14 Tomcat For Sale

There are a couple of MiG-23s for sale in this country, which are not that different in performance.

Don't see any 23s, but this would be a fun way to make a smoking hole in the ground!

In my area, it all ended badly for a pilot that purchased an L-39 Czech made Military jet. It took months to find the wreckage. Blamed on "Icing":

I'd love to throw my pet hamster Sidney in that thing for some action photos! He's been training on some light props for now.

My cousin is the owner of a Mig-17 and owns MiG-17 - F I G H T E R J E T S INC. - Randy Ball. He does airshows all over the country, but I've never had the opportunity to see him. A few years ago he was flying and had a heart valve rupture. The fact that he was flying and was able to force pure oxygen into his lungs could be what kept him alive. Found a story about it, Discover America's Story - Randy Ball cleared for takeoff after heart crisis at 16,000 feet, Malakoff, Texas
