"World's Only Privately Owned F-4 Phantom Capable of Flight"

http://www.platinumfighters.com/phantom2

History:

F4H-1F ‘145310’ was delivered to the Navy in 1959 and was the 11th pre-production aircraft built. 1961 was a memorable year for the jet. On 22nd April 1961, it carried a very impressive 22 Mk83 500lb bombs on various hardpoints under the aircraft and dropped them on a range at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. This demonstration was the deciding factor for the United States Air Force to also order the aircraft.

In high school my dad was stationed at MCAS Beaufort. He would walk me through the hangers to look at the F4 Phantoms and I would go to the flight line to watch them take off. They are awesome machines.

What happened to the one that Congress ORDERED DOD to transfer to Collings Foundation before they finished chopping 'em all up? (Frankly, I think the chop-up-and-part-out should have fallen on those who seek wholesale destruction of our national aerospace heritage instead...)

They still have it. Don't know if that qualifies as a "privately owned" F4 or not.

I would kill myself just as quickly with Hookers and Coke, but have some amazing legacy of debauchery to leave behind.
Lots of things I might splurge on buddy, but that aint one of them.

While something like this would be cool to own, the maintenance, and storage fees would drain you of alot of money quickly, not to mention the anount of time needed to get a jet license to fly the damn thing...I'd pass..

Yeah. I'd own the Hollywood Armalites before I bought a F4. Now a F4U might be a different conversation.

Don't need no stinkin' license, I'd hire some hot ex AF or Navy pilot broad to fly it and be the GIB.

They got one of them for sale also, more money and you have to fly yourself.
