Buying a private aircraft?

Question

Is it possible for me to buy a plane such as F-16, F-35 without weapons and military things? or do i have to buy some of those other commercial type airplanes

Answer 1

As mentioned, buying a currently deployed fighter aircraft is not possible. There are however any number of used fighters on the market and especially a large number of trainers. And many are very reasonably priced. And the reason for that is that a. They are not real comfortable on long trips and hold only one or two people and b. They are super expensive to maintain. I have seen some jet trainers for sale for as little as $80,000 but they probably need that much or more in repairs. And you can easily spend that much on maintaining it in flying condition per year. And they are not particularly thrifty on fuel.

Answer 2

can you fly an f16?

Answer 3

You cannot generally buy a currently deployed jet fighter, or one with supersonic capability.

There are some first generation jet fighters on the market, (for example, F-80s/T-33s, Mig 15s) and there are still a fair number of propeller-driven warbirds.  P-47s, P-51s, T-28s.

Any of these will be incredibly expensive to purchase, own, and fly.  You literally must have millions to spend on fun.  Not sure what you mean by "commercial type airplanes."

There are light aircraft of literally hundreds of types available for sale, and some are quite affordable if you are rich.  Used commercial airplanes are available, but again are very costly to own and operate.

To learn more about this market, get on the internet and search for "types of airplanes,"  select a type you might be interested in, and search for "[type] for sale."

Good luck!

Answer 4

It may be possible, but they are very expensive. Not just to buy, but to operate as well. The F35 is brand new, so not likely you'll buy one of those, but something that has been surplused may be available.

Answer 5

Could you afford it?

They cost a couple of Mil.$ each y'know.

Answer 6

No problem.  It will run you in the neighborhood of 25 million.

And of course you will need official permission to make the official purchase.
