A Flanker Anyone?

Postby -Crossfire- » Fri Nov 06, 2009 3:49 am

Just came across this last night...

Pride Aviation in Rockford, Illinois, has 2 SU-27 Flankers for sale.  Take a look!

BTW, I'm first in line  ;D

I really thought it was just a rumor that they were here! :o

Glad to see it isn't so though... Shame I don't have a spare $50,000,000 or so... :P

WANT!

Here's hoping that you can win the lottery without playing somehow!

Very nice, but a somewhat thirsty toy 8-)

What a toy to have!  I would expect at least one to start making the air show circuit.
