While working away getting C4I as being one of the premier computer
security intelligence and informtion sites on the Internet, Cyberspace
is not the only space we want to control. Sure the gang over at
Attrition have a lease with an option to buy with their F-117A

And first across the finish line of the Chicago to Mackinac sailing
race, Larry Ellison probably by now has his MiG-29....

I want a F-18!

FIRST CIVILIAN F-16, F-18 GO UP FOR SALE

A warbird restoration company in Kansas got an interesting windfall
recently when it was able to purchase an F-16 and F-18. Even better,
when the paint was pealed back on the F-18, restorers discovered it
was Blue Angel blue. The jets add to the inventory of 26 other
military jets for Air Capitol Warbirds LLC of Wichita, Kansas, and
Fulcrum Inc. of Ontario, Canada. But there's a lot of work to be done
before either one flies. Because both planes were demilitarized by the
federal government, the F-18 arrived without wings or instruments. But
company officials said Tuesday that they have been able to locate all
the parts needed for the restoration and expect to have the F-18
flying by the end of the year. The F-16, however, may take two years
of work to restore. The jets will be fully functional, minus the
weapons systems. A civilian has already put down a $100,000 deposit to
hold the F-16, and a similar arrangement is available for the F-18.
Company officials said insurance will, no doubt, be expensive. For
