Are there any F-16's in private hands? I guess not but I don't know for sure... I know some of the older model MiGs (and now apparently MiG-29's too) have been sold to private investors since the Iron Curtain fell, but I have never heard of Western military fighters being sold to "civilians". Perhaps because Western governments generally are less in need of cash....

The F-16 is still NOT ALLOWED to be sold publically, the clown doing this will go to jail and the USAF OSI and FBI is now involved - Crazy folks everywhere, don't they know Big Brother Is watching - Amazing what people try to get away with!

Not only all that, but he didnt know anything about an F-16 and what it is going to cost him. There is no way he could EVER get that bird in the air again except in a C-5. Where did he think he is going to get all the flight control computer s and all the other avionics that are tied into this just to allow it to fly let alone do anything else. He was losing his grip on this for sure. Also saw the pictures of this bird, and it was beyond repair. I've been doing it for 24 plus years now and , no way.

Don´t you think it is the same guy who sold the Eifel tower in Paris! He even succeeds the bluff act several times back in the fifties.
