Wouldn’t mind having one of those in my garage…of course, I’m gonna need a MUCH bigger garage.

[:D]

Nice!!!.. 1/1 scale.

Who said the economy is suffering when someone can purchase something like this to use as a pleasure aircraft?

I hope one if not both make an appearance at this years AirVenture!!!

[#ditto] I’d love to see one of those in the air in person, hope they show up in Oshkosh this year! [:D]

Oh man, I really want one. It would look so great next to my Spitfire and my Gulfstream…[8-]

I heard about these guys a two or three years ago from my youngest kid. It seems that they came into a MIG 29 that was still armed! Feds impounded it, and last time I heard was still locked away in some hanger over there. Also seeing all those customs agents in the pics I wonder just who broke the seals on the freight? They can’t with out a special court order that has to be very specific. Only the originator can alter the seals till the reciever takes (and signs for) delivery. That’s international law these days.

Anyway I’m glad I’m not the guy buying gas for that beast!
