    Here’s Your Big Opportunity, Ben

    A restorable F4 is up for sale. Just a bit of touch up work and $4+M needed.

    It seems like a bargain indeed, and I saw it for sale earlier, but we have to remember it's the less desirable "H" model and its J-79's would need extensive work to bring them up to combat specs...The Collings Foundation's F-4D could run rings around it (quite embarrassing)...The 600 gallon centerline tank and two wing-mounted 370 gallon tanks included are a nice touch though...

    The $4M sticker price is still quite attractive until you consider what it would cost for the upgrades to bring the performance level up to par...The low hours on the airframe are a real plus also, but I think I'll hold out for finding someone with an F-4E model in his garage who needs to make room for his new Tesla......Ben

    Joe, something combining the traditional with the modern might pique your own interest...Sasquatch...

    The first jet-powered bi-plane will be performing this year at Wings Over Houston......Ben

    I was there last year, but the day I picked was rained out...Didn't even get through the gate...

    And no refunds or credits on tickets, not even Eagle Squadron...I'll try again this year......Ben
