The fuel prices will get you. We have a private military owner here. He bought a Yugoslavian trainer. He burns heating oil every other flight to save money. It’s an expensive toy.

He contacted a local Vietnam veteran F-4 pilot to help him train in it and the pilot told him he’d only do it if there was napalm involved. He eventually found a former S-3 pilot.
