Re: the P-51, I worked for a guy who worked for a very rich guy who had a Sea Fury project, along with a small squadron of various warbirds, including a perfect Mustang painted in the Louis IV scheme. He starved the engine of fuel by leaving the fuel selector on either the right or left tank (instead of both), and ran the tank dry, thoroughly destroying the aircraft but somehow only suffering a small scratch. The plane crashed in a park near a school, I believe, in Waukegan; our hangar was in Kenosha. Evidently, there was some pressure from the warbird community that he either restore it (prolly not worth it, at least at that time) or somehow get another Mustang in the air. There was (is?) a warbird (or Mustang only) outfit in Montana that had all the engineering drawings from North American, that scratch built an ENTIRELY NEW P-51 airframe! It was basically an authentic Mustang that received a real sequential serial number, although I really don’t know what that meant…was it a North American sn#, a USAAF sn# (dunno how, since neither entity exists), a USAF sn#, and FAA sn#??? Whatever - I guess the point is, is that it is considered an authentic Mustang. So….if you want a Mustang, maybe look into this Montana establishment, assuming it still exists.

Landing it is not easy...The Mig 21 has to land at higher speeds than normal due to wing design and needs parachutes to stop it on runways..Not a big issue if you don't mind wrapping up and repacking the chutes every time you land. However the Mig 21 is fast as hell.

And the gripes about the prices are kinda valid, but it’s really more along the lines of buying art. The agreed upon price is what the buyer’s willing to pay, and the seller is willing to let it go for. There’s virtually no logic behind it.

Cred went in the toilet the moment you showed a C/F-18 as a C/F-5. So, thumbs down. If you’re gonna put stuff like this out there, it should be 100% accurate.

Even though some of these planes are relatively "cheap", that would be just the "entrance cost" of ownership. Maintenance, fuel, insurance, hanger space, etc would end up being many times the sale price, but if I had a lot of disposable cash.........................

☑️ SUBSCRIBED!!! 🤩🤩🤩

The deal with a lot of American military aircraft is that they have to be purchased from other countries’ air forces, and not from America’s, although there are exceptions if you have a qualified aircraft museum for tax purposes (some wealthy warbird owners do, if they have multiple warbirds, other criteria…). For example (exceptions exist), you can’t go window shopping at Davis Monthan and buy a scrapped plane from the Air Force. As a past warbird restorer, I thought this was an abomination! :) I think warbird wrecks in other countries are fair game, unless they’re a grave site. WWII aircraft found in the Great Lakes may still be on the military’s registry, so there’s that hoop to go through. Aircraft like the F-104 and F-4 can probably be purchased from other countries in a fairly straightforward manner. Newer (very loosely used) planes like the F-16, F-15, F-14 can be bought from other nations if the models and variants have been retired from US service, and purchased from other countries - with complicated bureaucratic difficulties. An F-16A, for example, has recently ended up in private hands although I don’t know the backstory. I have seen an F-15A in civilian hands, but it had been delivered to a museum in Waukegan, just of I94 near WI and IL border (this was ~30 years ago). This same place had a small squadron of 5-8 OV-1 Mohawks (like in the thumbnail), one of which I saw had somehow been delivered to the Kenosha Airport and flown - thing is a rocket! The F-14 would be a special case. There are obviously several F-14s at museums across the country, but when they were retired and delivered to a boneyard (I don’t know where the Navy stores their old stuff), they were ordered destroyed, along with (and especially) all their spare parts. This was done to prevent industrious dealers from sending parts to Iran to repair their F-14s. So, a civilian would have to purchase an airworthy example from Iran - good luck with that. For the average wealthy individual, they would simply buy an available military aircraft from an airplane broker or private sale, bypassing all the rules bs since that had already been waded through.

I’ll get the F5 freedom fighter

Any U2 spyplanes? I'd definitely purchase at least one of them!

Too much incorrect information in this presentation

B-29 is a bit of a misnomer since yeah they are privately owned but there are only 26 left and of which only 2 are airworthy. All of which are pretty securily owned by museums

Man this is a great vid. I for sure wish that I had millions of $$$$ just lying around, I'd get me a McDonnell F-4 Phantom II, because my pops used to fly it!

So many errors, so little time (that I am willing to devote) to respond. But, egregious case in point - at 5:20 "In the 1950s, it [Folland Gnat] was the fastest aircraft for any military." Does anyone really need examples to show what a ridiculous claim that is? The appropriately named Gnat, a decidedly subsonic trainer, first flew in 1955. My first operational assignment, the F-100 Super Sabre, was capable of sustained supersonic speeds IN LEVEL FLIGHT and first flew over two years earlier than the Gnat. The F-102 Delta Dagger also flew in 1953. The incredible Mach 2+ F-104 Starfighter took flight in 1954. My second operational fighter slot, and my career favorite aircraft, the Mach 2 capable F-105 Thunderchief flew its first test sortie in 1955, contemporaneously with the little Gnat. The fastest aircraft for any military from 1955 on into the future, the Gnat ? Not in W.E.W. Petter's fondest of wet dreams.

Enjoyed this! But some of the quoted current market values seem pretty whacky. The P-40 is a nice looking early monoplane fighter. But almost twice as expensive as a Mustang?! Can't be. And 3 times the price of an Me-262??! The first successful jet fighter in history, and the pinnacle of German war-time technology?? No way. Any war/history museum in the world would give their left nut to have one of those in their collection! They'd be happy with a P40 too, but not for the price of 3 Me-262s!

There are few P-40's in flying condition today compared with Mustangs (I saw recently where there were 50 registered as flyable). No original ME-262 can be sourced today outside of a museum, but the copies made in WA are available. You can get a flight check on the ME-262 in TX. Also, I'd guesstimate the ME-262 going for at least $1M.
