    Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker For Sale: Only $5M

    So yeah...this is probably the most advanced fighter ever available for civilian purchase in the U.S. And it can be yours for the price of a boring bizjet. With a top speed of Mach 1.8, it will get you to your sales meeting wayyy faster.

    An aircraft broker/restorer in Illinois bought two of them for a company that wanted to do some high-altitude research, but the buyer went bust before taking delivery.

    He finished restoring them to spec, with a few added Western-style bells and whistles, like GPS, IFR, etc, and now they're for sale.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
    All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.
    I trust you are not in too much distress. —Captain Eric Moody, British Airways Flight 9

    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    Hmmm 5mil...that's a bit north of where I'd like to be. Give it a few months he'll come down in his price...I'll play the waiting game.
