August 24, 20196 yr It wouldn't be a bad buy if you were in the defense industry. There are a few civilian outfits out there that purchase military aircraft and contract with governments to provide tactical aircraft services. Air USA is one of them. I can only shudder at what the maintenance and fuel cost would be for that thing! A quick video of them in operation Edited August 24, 20196 yr by ACR
