Own Your Own Fighter Jet

Posted by samzenpus on from the only-one-on-the-block dept.

gimmebeer writes "The Russian Sukhoi SU-27 has a top speed of Mach 1.8 (more than 1,300 mph) and has a thrust to weight ratio greater than 1 to 1. That means it can accelerate while climbing straight up. It was designed to fight against the best the US had to offer, and now it can be yours for the price of a mediocre used business jet."

    I bet John Travolta would LOVE to get one of these! Might take some getting used to compared to the jetliner he owns! :)
