Navy Jet eBayed - Some Assembly Required?

madmancarman writes "The world's only F/A-18 Hornet in private ownership, formerly a Navy Blue Angel Jet, is for sale on eBay. The initial asking price? $1 million unassembled, or $9 million assembled and certified airworthy 'with your choice of paint' - more info is available via a Yahoo News story. I wonder how much it would cost to fully arm it? The same person selling the F/A-18 is also selling a 1950's T-33, and claims they'll soon be auctioning off an F-16 and a Mig-29 as well. Build your own air force for fun and profit!"

"It take 9 months to bear a child, no matter how many women you assign to the job." Yes but if you had only one woman and needed 4 children, it would take four times longer to produce the desired lot. Four women could get four children done in a quarter of the time.

Another recent interesting eBay auction...

"I can think of one, but I reckon he got his flight status revoked in 1972 due to being AWOL."

I haven't looked at the records just released this weekend...pertaining specifically to the flight status revocation, but, isn't AWOL a federal offense (felony)?

If he was convicted of such, I don't think much could have been done to give him the honorable discharge that he got.

Besides...it looks like Kerry had some stupid things he did in his 20's. Kinda hard to live a 'perfect' life and enjoy being a young man without doing some stupid things. I think we need to look more at these men for what they've accomplished and how they've acted in the last 10-15 years...that is much more relavent to how their future actions can be measured...IMHO.
