Hey, hold on a second, I've seen that Mig before, also, that looks like Stead Airport, north of Reno Nevada, where I live... Is that right? I've seen that Mig flyby a few times.

@matador5135 Yep..., that's right. Sounds like you might have seen it this past Wednesday or Thursday too.

Did the Czechs sell this to you or something? If so, how much? It's a shame to see good communist plane sold to rich person.

@Sven828 Actually, a lot of those warbirds are usually owned by historical foundations, like the Collins Foundation's F-4.

@zimmermann10 I don´t have any experience with F-5, but it´s possible, that it´s better, than MiG-21. MiG is primary interceptor, it means, that it´s not so natty. And you must be quiet fast, at least 700-800 km/h (400 kts). Is there anybody with experience with F-5?

@Sven828 Well, it's always all about the money. If you don't have money, you simply can't afford something like that. No matter how much you want it.

[Sven828]

Americans and their money. I've read in an aviation magazine that in America there are 64 privately owned fighter jets, ranging from mig-15s and f-86 sabres to mig-21s, F-4 Phantoms, Draken, etc. Some rich bastard is really going to enjoy this jet.
