I maintain a small fleet of Migs alongside a few other jet warbirds in the Houston TX area. Most jets that are in hands right now came into the US in the 1990s. Now thereโs an abundance of them available- check platinum fighter sales and courtesy aircraft . Our T33 and Mig 17 came from courtesy but now weโre a large enough operation that we just privately buy and sell. You can also look on controller but those in the warbird market mostly look at the other 2 I provided. On Platinum currently theres an airworthy F4 for sale alongside 3 A4โs. Edit: because some folks asked, anyone else can PM me if they ever want to look around and play with some jets, iโll show you around during some downtime. Answer from DearKick on reddit.com

r/FighterJets on Reddit: Where to buy a fighter jet?
September 3, 2024 -
Let's say I have 20 million dollars laying around to buy any aircraft I chose, and I want to buy a fighter jet instead of a private jet. Where can I find 2nd hand used fighter jets such as old MIGs, Mirage 2000's, and F-16s? Are there websites for this?
If I can't buy an operational fighter jet, where can I buy scrapyard fighter jets?

Fighter jets are legal. The weapons to arm them are not. You have to be at least a hundred-millionaire to keep one airworthy though.... The jet isn't that expensive - the maintenance program and fuel are. More on reddit.com

Answer (1 of 11): There's a lot of cannibalization that goes on. They will almost always take out most of the avionics package as well. The EO/IR, weather radar, etc. The stuff they remove from these things will probably make that jet subsonic. There's a lot of performance taken away when mothbal...

r/aviation on Reddit: Is it possible to own a non-airworthy U.S. fighter jet as a civilian?
October 15, 2024 -
I have a bit of a pipe dream of maybe procuring the body of an older, non-airworthy U.S. fighter jet (maybe an F-4 or F-5) and restoring it to be a static display. I know that there are some airworthy, civilian-owned F-4 and F-5 jets that cost in the several million dollar ballpark, but what about if they did not have any weapons or engines in them? I also have figured out that any newer jet than probably an F-5 would probably never be legal for a civilian to own. What are the laws surrounding something like this?
I also know that regardless of airworthiness, something like this would cost an arm and a leg so for this to be possible for anyone they would need to have had a long and successful career, I am still young so I'm just dreaming here lol, sorry if this is an uninspired question

Absolutely. There are a lot of de-militarized fighter jets in private hands. There are even privately owned F-15s and F-16s out there.
