Amazing..Lucky man! This thing is screaming for some cockpit photos! ;)
Well you can also build a runway and a shelter and intercept anyone who flies a Cessna near your area ;D
As Fozzer said its time to repaint in an original livery(Russian,Polish,Hungarian)!

Congrats for your new toy! :)

Holy cow.  I assume this has already been discussed at length and forgive me for not doing a search (because I don't know what to search for).  What's the story (or link to it)?  I'd bet shipping and handling on something like that ain't cheap.  If someone gives you an identical one for Christmas can you take it back for a refund?

Very cool.

That thing looks more like an air superiority fighter, not ground attack.  Your neighbors shouldn't feel threatened unless they plan on bombing you.  :)  To keep the neighbors quite maybe you should get some rocket pods.  Or just turn the thing around, point the engine their way and fire that puppy up at 3:00AM.  

It takes some serious artillery to intimidate in Texas, where criminals run scared of concealed cary laws.  Even there though I'd bet any of nefarious intent would think twice before starting trouble with a guy who has his own Air Force.  :)

Might be decomissioned the russian way (with big wire cutter) so if you can find the right wires and a compatible GPU you'll be able to power up the avionics

I actually went by your house yesterday if you live north of Hutto, TX and saw the MiG in your back yard.
