Wonder where we would be if we spent $60,000,000,000 on a Harrier III instead of a Lightening II turd?

kind of off topic, but didn't USMC Harriers have some sort of glass optic on the tip of the nose cone? Looking at recent pictures, they don't seem to have that anymore.

Theres a guy here in town that owns and trains people on a Mig 15. He also has a L29, a L39, t-33, and another funky little trainer.
I see the L39 flying around all the time, the t33 once in a while and the mig 15 at the air show. The others I don't see too often. I realize none are as cool as a harrier but, still pretty cool. |

Wow I remember those Pepsi points, didn't someone sue Pepsi because they did get 7 million points? I believe if you look at those promotions the points actually have a values of tenths of a cent. Pepsi advertised you could get a Harrier for 7 million points. He bought the points and demanded his plane. Whatever he paid would have been an extremely good deal on a Harrier but of course they couldn't really sell him one. I think they settled and he actually got a decent amount of money. |

there was a guy that lived about 30 miles from me that had a surplus fighter jet. I can't remember what model but I used to se him flying it around once in awhile. I believe he ended up selling it when he went bankrupt.

Being just over 500 miles from Quincy, Ill. I have seen both of their MiG-29s with in the last month stopping in at our local airport for I assume re-fuel for the pilot and jet. One is all gray with red stars and the other is camo having light blue with red stars.
They are impressive pieces of machinery. I'd love to take a closer look at them. |

I was going to say no big deal since we have quite a few rich people around these parts with surplus jets. But, darn, a Harrier? That's a new one. Usually, it's an old MIG.
