NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) -- You can now have your very own Navy F/A-18A Hornet jet fighter -- but some assembly may be required.


The price for the jet, which formerly belonged to the Navy's Blue Angels aerial demonstration team, is just over $1 million on the auction firm eBay, or about $9 million for a buyer who wants it assembled, painted and certified ready-to-fly.


Only legal U.S. residents can bid. The auction is scheduled to end Thursday.


An F/A-18 in 1997 cost the military $28 million, according to the Blue Angels' official Web site.
