i know, i had to come up with this a few days earlier, but i don't think any of you would place a bid right?  ;)

If you will notice, the buyer has -1 feedback and is a fraud.

Wonder how they got ahold of it, and why Billy Gates didn't buy it?! ;D

It has been relisted, and the current highest bid holder has 1 positive feedback with two negitive. Another "fraud"?
I'll bid on it and when I win free rides for everyone here!!

I think that the person selling this is selling it the wrong way by using Ebay, he'll have too relist it over and over before he gets a serious bid! May be he should think about calling some museums or something?
But it would be cool, ultimate bragging rights at the local airport! :)

hey there were some people down here in Wichita that were rebuilding old fighter jets(including an f-14, f-18).  unfortunately they went out of business. I guess there arent enough excentric, super rich, pilot millionares out there :-[
