your chance to own a mig 19 or 21
Per this feature the Government of Albania is auctioning some Warsaw Pact aircraft. GE once made a conversion set for the Egyptian AF for Migs. With a good engine it might be fun.

I saw a F-4 down at the Ruidoso Airport.
The engines were gone but the afterburners were sitting there.
When you sent out two J-79 engines for a rebuild, you better have on your big boy pants!
And you better have some big boy money!
Then you can take on those MIGS!

Your personnel checking account better have numbers in it with 7 or more digits!

Nothing like a jet fighter to convert money to speed and distance. A coworker is partners in a T28 which I think he said burns 50 gallons per hour of avgas.

Ah those T-28's. Used to crash crew for VT-5 in Pensacola, FL. We could back seat for carrier qualifications on the Lexington if we wanted. I never had the cajones to do that.
My hats off to the all those who qualified.

The Czech L-39 is probably the best choice in small jets.
There are 255 privately owned just in in the US.

I'd like to own one of these if I knew how to fly and had the money .. little side by side 2 seater ..
A-37B
Got a few hours in one back in the 70's when in the AF .. I worked in a training squadron teaching Iranians and S Vietnamese how to fly .. My boss a Major took me up on some range sorties bombing the range at Ft Polk, La ..
He even gave me the stick a few times for 15 to 20 minutes .. fine little jet ... was a lot of fun ..

If it ain't got a propeller, it ain't a real airplane.
