I talked to the doctor that owns the Hunter of Chino. The guy told me he never flew it for the years he owns it because he cannot find a 2 seater to get checked out.:rofl

he just comes on the week end in his fighter pilot suit and washes his Hawker Hunter.

60s jets are really inexpensive, u can buy L29s, Fougas for 35K-50K.
Dat jugs bro.

muck, if you want the particulars, contact them.  Thats what they are there for.  You can find out time til next insp and what level of insp plus what time/life items are up.

It hasn't been flown in 11 years....I'm going to bet you $5 the ejection seat explosives will have to be replaced, as gunslinger said.  Oxygen bottles, fire bottles, all safety equipment will also be due.  2700 hours on the airframe...no word about last inspection...its prolly due too.  Avionics, too (but that will be cheap if it all works)...I bet it leaks fuel like a sieve (hey, I can fix that for a small phenomenol fee!)

so you buy it for $50 G's and $200 + G's getting it airworthy (if at all)

On the other hand...40 hours since major overhaul on the engine....its prolly worth $30 G's by itself (if there was a buyer who needed one)...you could sell the frame for static display and come out $10k to the good :)

Heck go ahead and buy it.....we'll strap some bottle rockets to the seat and install a home fire extinguisher and walkie talkie for ya....
