There are several F-104 Starfighters, (the "rocket with a man in it" ) based at St. Pete/Clearwater Airport in Florida. These were designed purely as supersonic interceptors during the cold war. They could sustain Mach 2. I believe that they are still occasionally flown at air shows.

WOW, now thats a plane :twisted:

Sorry I have to vote for old iron prop jobs. I fly a Cessna 182 but I dream of a p38 lightning or a p51 mustang. :-D

scooter01922 · Jan 15, 2010

Well yeah stampy, but one of those would prob cost as much as a su-27. I dunno, would still love a saab draken myself.

Ah, an educated consumer! The D model is truly the only way to fly-the upgraded engines and all the upgraded avionics to go with them.

dk8019 · Jan 15, 2010

So how much does one of these SU-27 run right now? Any one care to hazard a guess? :-D

dk8019 · Jan 15, 2010

Dear Lord, I clicked the data sheet for the unit, it's a cool $4.9 million...

pjpiche1 · Jan 15, 2010

Beautiful aircraft!!! 4.9 million....I will have to save a little more pocket change. I guess I will stick with my paraglider for now! :-D
