Sukhoi Su-27 Flanker For Sale: Only $5M

[Matt Molnar]

So yeah...this is probably the most advanced fighter ever available for civilian purchase in the U.S. And it can be yours for the price of a boring bizjet. With a top speed of Mach 1.8, it will get you to your sales meeting wayyy faster.

An aircraft broker/restorer in Illinois bought two of them for a company that wanted to do some high-altitude research, but the buyer went bust before taking delivery.

He finished restoring them to spec, with a few added Western-style bells and whistles, like GPS, IFR, etc, and now they're for sale.

Hmmm 5mil...that's a bit north of where I'd like to be. Give it a few months he'll come down in his price...I'll play the waiting game.
