Very funny article...though that's definitely not a MiG-15...or any kind of MiG I can recognize, for that matter.

Still a very funny story. Would have rather seen it happen the other way around, though.

+1 That's no Russian MiG. A very unusual intake design. Maybe a TS-11 trainer??

He's got bigger issues than IMS problems. It didn't run when he bought it.

You know, it will probably cost less to store that hunk of metal than it would be to maintain the 7,000 pound Porsche that probably needed EVERYTHING.

If you're going to buy a fighter, he should have done it right and bought one of these:
