That’s a cruel thing for such a fine fighter to end up as. I had been a warplane enthusiast and seeing a plane to end up as a showpiece in a private home is a sad thing. eBay did sell one MiG 29 fighter a few years back. I wonder who bought it. I would rather buy a fighter that I can fly. It had always been a dream. No, I don’t need the bombs and the missiles.

Good garden toy actually. I am sure some rich parents would buy this piece for their children to play with. The cockpit should have the seat(s) and the panels like the originals. I would like to see this in a children’s park rather than in a private house.

I agree - seems to me that a plane like that with history should better be served to the public rather than just sitting in someone’s lawn.

But then again - I don’t even have near the amount of money these people who bought it do, which is entirely a different story anyways :)

We use to have an F-4 Phantom in a local park.. I recall growing up flying that thing! Also had a full sized locomotive engine...

Good memories, except the falls off the locomotive. I would trade a single bruise or broken bone from those days though.
