A former Blue Angel F-18 Hornet is for sale on ebay. Click here to view the sale. "It has been acquired legitimately," said Landa, who said he was visited by the FBI on Tuesday, a day after he posted the jet on the popular Internet auction site. Landa, an aircraft and telecommunications broker, is keeping a tight lip on the owner's identity. He met the owner in California while purchasing airplane parts. Wednesday afternoon, Blue Angels spokesman Mike Blankenship confirmed the aircraft's heritage. "According to the bureau number, it was a Blue Angels plane flown in the early '90s," said Blankenship, who has no clue how Landa acquired it. "It was stricken from the Navy's inventory in 1994." According to the Department of Defense, the Navy's planes are not usually sold to private citizens.

Carrion did you get this story from anyplace else or did u jsut find it on ebay. if you did we might have been looked at by fox news who is about to report this same story.

Yeah, I found it on ebay when I was trying to find some stuff.

Looked at by Fox news? That's pretty cool. I'm just a noob around here.

I just found out, they come disasambled. you have to pay 5 million, just to get it put together.

It can't be that hard to put together a super advanced fighter aircraft that costs millions to build and in R&D, can it? Super glue anyone?

ill give a nut to help out this found...

ats has it first tool, then to FLYOVER A51 DROPPING OFF THE CRAZYEST ATSer here,

maybe our plane to infetrate a51 will come true?

If I had that kind of money I'd definetly buy it, just like I'd buy a trip to the space station as well.

Probably burns up 2-3k worth of fuel in a one hour cruise then another 2-3k per flight for the mechanic. Then when I think about I'd giive 10 k just for a ride.

if it's a blue angel do you have any idea how many hours that plane would have on it? i'd be scared to touch it for fear it would fall apart.

i saw a special on the blue angels once on tv... i can't remember exactly, but the navy gives them those planes after some inane amount of airframe hours. i think it was like 2,500 or more... and that's a buttload for a military craft

[Edited on 5/2/2004 by cmdrkeenkid]

It doesn't really matter how many hours they have on them when their maintained properly. Not to mention it is currently disassembled which allows full tests on parts before reassembly, so the problem of hidden airframe fatigue is pretty much moot. Anyone with that kind of money is not going to get the thing rebuilt with out full xrays etc.
