The simple act of flying in has to be rather tightly controlled, with planes landing every minute or so. Just amazing.

park your plane at a coastal city, do exhaustive pre-flights and maintenance on your ancient plane and take it out over international waters...
you can 'boom' out there as much as you like
Yeah, maintenance on that thing would be a HUGE pain in the rear...not to mention a bit costly, because the parts would probably have to be imported from who knows where.
I assume it doesn't come with air to air missiles [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]http://216.15.145.59/mainforums/biggrin.gif[/img]
It also comes with air-to-air missile rails too. *grins*

thats only compounded by the ammount of highly sophisticated avionics on board something like a milspec 1960's/70's jet.
trust me, this thing is more trouble than its worth.
nice dream but no thanks, it's a hole in the runway into which you pour money or its an exceptionally high speed coffin/cremation furnace
[b]these old birds are positively dangerous... some old warbirds, mustangs, sea furies, and the numerous Yaks etc have service to flight ratios of ten to one, ie ten hours under a spanner to every hour under the pilots control.

Yeah, Running a Mig-21 would be a nightmare, but I know that while the WW-II birds are not THAT expesive, depending on what your talking about.
I dont know about the Mustang or Sea Furies, but things a PBY Catalina are (realitivly) inexpensive to run, I mean more then standard light aviation, but its inline with costs of running a big twin.
There is a guy who owns both a B-25 and a B-26, and he doesnt fly the 26 at all, its a tricky aircraft, but the 25 is expensive, but still, its not as insane a cost as running any jet.
