Gee, how big is this ship?!? They’ve been searching it for days and are still finding things as big as planes hidden on it.

Y’ know...
I bet they could get pretty good money for MiGs from aviation enthusiasts. Who wouldn’t want their own supersonic fighter?

Seriesly!
MiG fighters from the 1950’s?
Yah...you betcha. They’re not worth the sugar they were packed in.
To: apillar
Since it was in an 8' wide cargo container, it was as big as a plane. More likes parts of a plane.
Those containers were hidden in a bulk section buried under bags of sugar.
And just because it was recently announced doesn't mean it was just found today....

From my limited understanding, it's not the purchase price of ex-Soviet supersonic aircraft that's expensive, rather it's fuel and maintenance costs. Many of these came onto the market following the collapse of the Soviet Union and its satellites. There is one MIG 21 for sale right now for $79,500.

What was your purpose in directing me to that link?
To: Sooth2222
Yes. I bet the fuel and maintenance for a MiG-21 would be fiendishly expensive. And, fun as it might be, the cruising speed of a MiG would be no faster than an airliner; and the range is short - no coast to coast commuting!

About the only use for a Mig 21 would be as a human guided cruise missile.

What? Again? They just had ship before that was stopped.Are you accusing the Panamanians of profiling? Or are they stopping other ships than those on the cuba-NK route? Inquiring minds and all that...
