Flankers For Sale in the USA!!!

By Parrothead Jeff, on 20 November 2009

So I got this email today from occasional commenter Jason C about a couple of aircraft which are being offered for sale here in the U.S. I’d heard about them, but hadn’t seen the new pics and video.

Su-27 Flanker - For sale at Pride Aircraft - Click on this image for seller's website

What you see before you is the mighty Sukhoi SU-27 Flanker This jet is a fire breathing monster that can give an F-15 or F-16 a run for its money and Pride Aircraft has two of them up for sale 8) In case you’re wondering, YES I WANT ONE !!!

I don’t know how they’re going about the paperwork to make these jets legal for flight in the U.S., but I know that they’ve had any and all military (weapons related) equipment pulled out and are no longer armed. While I would much prefer to own a fully armed fighter jet, I’d be happy to settle for one of these beauties

I’m still trying to figure out why several people have expressed fear at the idea of me owning one of these…

Thanks again, Jason

Never seen one of those before, they’re pretty cool. I went to their website to read about it and they have one video with the guy flying — I couldn’t even watch the whole thing. Geez!!! But definitely very impressive.
