Engines alone are with the price.

Nah!! Probably about $250,000 to $300,000 each, with afterburners. And that is ready to run. jet engines (Even zero time engines) can't sit around for a decade, and be any good.

$1,050,000.00

Does Ebay provides a hit count to the seller? If the post here at FR generated a large number of hits at Ebay, the seller may have thought it was time to raise the starting bid. Still 0 bids though.

I don't care about flying it. I would just park it on my front lawn. American flag in the background. Put spotlights on it at night. Get all the neighborhood liberals ticked off.

Sounds like a necessary addition to the FRAC (Free Republic Air Corps).

If you don't want the fighter, they are also selling a 1973 Huey. All it needs is blades and a rotor head. Get those, add some speakers and become an Apocolypse Now reenactor!

You have an esxcellent memory. Originally we were going to keep our F14's, F15's, F16's, and F18's and those others quiet. But with our defensive systems, making it public is fine. Only the US Military could pull off a successful attack on us. Since we are a contractor and ally that is not likely. I think I forgot to remind you that I agreed with your suggestion on going public on the issue. My bad.

Seriously, if Free Republic can get enough members to kick in $100 each, have "Free Republic" painted on the side and "Lib Smasher" painted on the nose, and hire a pilot to fly her around to different airshows, then I'm in! All just to stick it in the liberals rear ends!
