Damn, I'm sure a Mig-29 would have looked great on my lawn. Just gotta build a mount so it looks cool and dynamic
The HOA would most likely object, maybe try to get a permit from the municipality as historic landmark.
Hey friend, I have a quick tip for you!
If you have a Warplane, you get dictate terms. Your HOA could "object", but you can then make the HOA a "historic landmark" in response!
I'd bet your HOA has spent most of its money on lawn inspectors and other such leeches, and not nearly enought on AA defenses to stop you from raining warheads on foreheads
Possibly just to keep Russia from flying them.
Maybe that, but I was thinking that this was a purchase for Ukrainian AF who were already trained/familiar with Russian tech.
If they can drone-ize them and deliver them in working order to Ukraine, holy shit... Good buy! https://www.defensenews.com/air/2024/04/19/us-air-force-stages-dogfights-with-ai-flown-fighter-jet/
No need to invent new stuff, Ukraine can use them for parts, as false targets on airfields, or just repair some of them.
credible content? in NCD? it's more likely than you think
Sadly, I think they're pretty far from working order. But goddamn it'd make a great lawn ornament!
Even if none of them ran, just one could help repair dozens of other aircraft.
Are there more available? How much for shipping?
Back when ThinkGeek was good and Woot was barely a thing, a site called IWantOneOfThose offered MIGs for sale.
I didn't get one.
Likely fake, sadly, no confirmation and ua channels say it's fake.
They're probably bought to be cannibalized for parts.
Very unlikely you can even start the engines on those things.
