Anyone in the market for a plane?

vreihen16 · 11-10-2020, 05:55 PM

Here's an extremely low mileage (461 hours) two-seat F4 Phantom for "only" $3.25 million:

Looks like there is a decent collection of spares to keep it flying for anyone who can afford to pay the supersonic fuel bill.....

Yeah, actually I am. I'm looking for a Lie-Nielsen #4 Smooth Plane in bronze. I have two antique Stanley Bailey #4 planes and a Lie-Nielsen #6 Fore Plane.

Let me know if you find one... (-:

Maybe we could start a gofundme for SakhirM4 !

I've been thinking about getting my pilot's license. Does anyone know if this is a good plane for a student pilot with zero hours of flight time?????

M_Six · 11-10-2020, 06:51 PM

That plane is my age. Hope it's in better shape.

Knowing your health issues I'm sure they are but just make sure all your affairs are in order before that first flight!

I was on USS Nimitz (CVN-68) from 1987 to 1990. We had an Vietnam-era, US Marine F-4 Phantom aboard that we would use for live fire training on aircraft. I do not know what that particular airframe was made of, but it survived many training fires over those 3 years.

Actually, I'm kidding - I know the airframe was made of titanium and I believe the skin was aluminum.

The doctors already took away my motorsports hobby, and it would surely be a cold day in Hades if a doctor signed off on an FAA physical for me. Heck, I get loopy from the air pressure drop riding the elevator at work up to the third floor.....

Meh. Trump's old choppah is cheaper, easier to park, and just imagine how much you can annoy your <censored> neighbors.

Hopefully he didn't stiff his mechanics...

If someone here buys it, can you do check-out instructor rides?????

paquet · 11-11-2020, 07:21 AM

There's a lovely Mark XVI Spitfire for sale on that site too

The Navy version does not have dual controls like the Air Force version. The Navy/Marine versions had no flight controls in the back seat. The Air Force versions could be flown from either cockpit.

Whatever you do, go with Geico; you'll save 15% on your insurance premium.

That one has dual controls as per the description. Navy trainers had dual controls too.

For those who always wanted to own a P-51 Mustang with a George Jetson-inspired mother-in-law seat,

a mere $12 million will get you this award-winning restoration:
