    Pretty sure there is no airworthiness cert, so you could only fly it when and where permitted by the FAA, even in the unlikely event that it can be flown at all.
     
    Lol he'll delete you.

    So do fighter aircraft have odometers? Do they just tell you how far the aircraft has taxied, or do they include flown miles?

    I'm sure it was only flown once a week by a little old lady to and from church.
     
    If anyone buys it....will you please update the camera equipment so that when you encounter UFOs we might actually get a view of something that we can see detail.

    Just search through the PX here and buy some used NVG/Camera gear off of a hog or coyote hunter. Their shit tends to be ten times better than any of the images that the military releases.
     
    So how do you fill out the form 4 for that one?
    No form 4 needed! In private hands are Hawker Hunters, F86's, F100, A4 Skyhawks, T38 Talons, F4 Phantoms and other combat jets.

    So if you could find a legitimate F15 for sale that was properly turned over to the private sector...I say no paperwork needed.

    Arming it....that's where it will get tricky!

    Anyone make barrels for the onboard gun....Betting they were rode hard and put away wet.
     
    Well.. i could do the engine maintenance on it, but i doubt i'll be able to use rockauto.com for a main fuel control, augmentor spray rings, flex shafts, or the cancer causing lube for the flex shafts. If anyone knows where i could readily access these parts, hit me up, i'll drop a bid in on it.

    Just a reminder, IF it's time to pull that out of the garage and use it, I don't think you will be worrying about certificates and/or FAA regs. Just say'n. Mac🤷‍♂️

    Sh#t, nothing a pair of Tin-snips, beer can, Speed Tape, and Safety Wire, couldn't take care of!

    The thing is, the systems that make it a fighter rather a status symbol and neither included nor available to us.
    Are their any laws in particular that bar citizens from having the weapon targeting systems in these fighters besides it just being standard practice to remove? Like let’s say a man bought that mig 29 and just happened onto all the weapon controls etc any reason they can’t be put in?

    Sounds like a question for @THEIS
     
    Hi,

    There is pretty much NOTHING off limits if one had the money and time to submit a multitude of permit applications.

    Yes the FAA will approve for you to fly non neutered fighter jets....see above sentence, lol


    Sincerely,
    Theis

    It's all classified material. That makes it illegal for you to even look at it.

    How hard would it be to get your hands on the weapon systems for that mig 29 and get them landed here stateside
     
    I'll betcha, L.L. has figured out a way to stash one or two in the PX, or it's in the NV section somewhere. Mac
