1. I smell something...

[Fenris]

2. Oh, sorry, that was me

How embarrassing!
:o

[Interrobang]

3. Hell, yah!

My dad's birthday's coming up soon... He's a pilot (ex-RCAF, currently commercial), and he's been jonesing after hot aviation tech since my mom got him the manual for the Avro Arrow for Christmas. He'd love it! Hmm, I'll have to change the paint job before I give it to him -- too American for his tastes. Know a *good* custom detailing shop around?

Also, uh, got a million or so I can borrow (don't forget taxes and duty)...? ;-)

4. What Could I Do With One?

Become a TV Star and appear on JAG once a season?

[ProudGerman]

8. I'm not sure what I could do with one

But I think late for work would be something I'd have to try and accomplish. The road outide is long and straight enough, just need to trim back a few trees.....

Neighbors might not like the noise, F-18's are noisy beasts, but the noise would only last a short time. I'm sure they'd understand.

It'd also make first dates a lot more interesting. Hey, wanna go to Paris this weekend, I can get you back by Sunday afternoon.

I wonder what kind of warranty would come with it.

5. Naw, too difficult to park on the street.

Pass, but thanks for the offer.

6. screw parking, arrive at the family reunion in ~style!~

Eject!

[greatauntoftriplets]

7. Hmmm, would be interesting in Chicago traffic.

Wonder how they handle in the snow....

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. Just come in low and hot and....presto... no snow!

[greatauntoftriplets]

10. Wouldn't the neighbors object when I take out their trees?

What is the wingspan?

[Duncan Grant]

11. I never buy my jets used.

You're just inheriting someone else's problems. And the ammo! What can I tell ya?

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

13. Yeah, could be a lemmon... you got to wonder why the Navy

let this one go. Maybe it burns oil?

[Duncan Grant]

15. I heard the block was cracked.

They ride those things pretty hard ya know! :7

12. I was interested in the Huey, until I saw it was a "fixer-upper".

I mean...85 grand is a steal. Maybe I can pick up the parts I need on another auction. :think:

[never cry wolf]

14. Check out this companies other auctions
