1980 model. I'd be curious to see where it is, how many pieces it's in, and when it last flew.

I wouldn't think the DoD would allow this to be purchased in the U.S.

$8.5m

Someone's idea of a joke? Surely you can't just buy an F16? :shrug:

Tooling? Spares? Hydrazine for the EPU? Etc? :shrug:

Will the do a no doc loan? 90 days same as cash? If so I am in.

I’d be curious to know how many people think they own it or part of it or stake a claim in it.

Hey, how much are the payments on your F16?

Couldn't imagine a better business commuter. Time to check with the bank about bumping up my LOC...

There are two F-16s on the US registry.

N324DC is owned by CRENSHAW COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION. I suspect it is a static airplane (gate guard or maintenance trainer).

N816NA is owned by NASA. Appears to not be flyable, either, as in it looks like a static display in the recent photos.

I'll note the ad doesn't say the plane is airworthy. It doesn't say anything at all, really.

I was about to pull the trigger on that one, but after some research I learned the ‘82 and later models are really the ones to own so I backed off.

I was just about to stroke a check when I noticed it wasn't ADS-B compliant.

There's a Harrier based at 2W6.

I'll do the pre-buy on it for you,
I worked them for 27 years so I know my way around them.
The toughest part are the compression checks and gear swing.

I'd really need to know if has a Pratt or GE engine. :dancing:
