Your Online Marketplace for Classified Jet Parts

Posted by timothy on from the flux-capacitor-shipped-separately dept.

jonerik writes: "Reuters is reporting that the U.S. Air Force is less than pleased about the recent posting of a number of sensitive jet communications components on eBay, including parts for the SR-71 spy plane, the F-16 fighter, the KC-10 tanker, and the giant C-5 transport. According to the article, the parts had sat in a warehouse for 12 years after being lost in shipping when the dealer, Norb Novocin, bought the lot for $244 in an unclaimed property sale. Novocin ended up selling four of the items to bidders in a recent auction, including an X-Band Weather Radar Modulator for $500 and a high-frequency radio circuit card for $32. The Air Force is looking into the incident and Novocin is cooperating."

    I know this is offtopic, but in SoaF it was the Israelis who lost the bomb, not the U.S.

    But that's just one of the piles of bullshit that was in that movie, just like that aircraft carrier getting hit. Would never happen.

    I'd buy that. Oh hell yes I would. Christina too. Stick them both in the slave-girl costume Leia wore in RETURN OF THE JEDI and we could play "Naughty Sith Lord" and "Hide the Lightsaber." Gawd I'm such a loser.

    I think JLo is a much better purchase. It would take 10 britney's and 20 christina's to == the value/fun/pleasure of 1 JLo. Yeah, we're all losers.
