#2 Somehow I'm guessing that the winning bidder is going to be getting some negative feedback.

#3 Wasn't me. I'm still figuring how to pay for the fuel for the F-18.

#4 If this is a 2nd country MIG (unless its FRG) it's essentially a Gate Guard.
I'll go $75,000

#5 "Like new MiG for sale. Never flown and only buried once."

#6 I wonder if the MIG was one of those found buried in Iraq? If it is, I'll offer ten dollars and a bag of tootsie rolls.

#7 I hope Alaska Paul's next door neighbor buys the MIG. Next time there is a dispute over a fence, the neighborhood will be treated to a Cold War dogfight.

#8 No way, Tibor. My neighbor has a skid loader and he plows the driveway when the BIG DRIFT hits. We have no fences and I keep on his good side. Bears patrol the open spaces. LOL.

#9 The pictures we saw of buried jets in Iraq was a Mig-25. That jet is capable of Mach-3 and has on many occasions outran U.S. f-15's before the war started. The Mig-29 is a much cheaper jet that is more comparable to our F-18 and F-16. Perhaps it is one of the original jets sent to Iran during Gulf I. They may not be worried about the original owner demanding them back.
