JET for SALE /\ MIG for SALE

MIG21 600UM (mongol B)

The stories are true; one drunken night a friend of mine got the bright idea we should own a military jet together. He said he know at least 3 or 4 other well healed people who were good for at least 50K quarter shares. I said, sure I'm in and since I'm the only average working stiff in the crowd I figured I'd show my sincerity by finding and acquiring the jet. All my moneybags friend had to do was kick in his share and find 2 more buddies who'd kick in the balance to get the jet air worthy. I contacted a well know importer of soviet era fighter jets and asked if he knew any good deals to be had. Ironically he was helping a rich Texan assemble a fleet of MIG21s and came across a jet in Berlin. The Mongol B had been with the DDR Luftwaffe and during reunification was turned over to FRG Luftwaffe. It flew till '92, was overhauled and given to a museum. As the story goes a museum had lost its lease and the jet is now sitting outside in the elements. My friend passed on it and instead purchased one for $250K because it had a far more recent flying history within the Eastern Bloc. Based on my mechanics word I transferred the funds a week after that drunken conversation. Well, my buddy sobered up and said to me "you know I've been thinking, that MIG burns a lot of gas and I don't really like airplane partnerships so I'm going to just get a L39. By the way, what are you doing with that Mig of yours?"
