pretty cool- an F-14 at its best!
"Those numbers may seem small, but military items can sell for pennies on the dollar compared with what the Pentagon paid. Last year, federal agents seized four F-14 fighter jets sold to domestic buyers by an officer at Point Mugu Naval Air Station, Calif., for $2,000 to $4,000 each, with proceeds benefiting a squadron recreation fund. When F-14s were new, they cost roughly $38 million each."
The quote's from this article on MSN. Couldn't remember the story- and they didn't give a citation... but I found it on the LA Times, here.
another cool shot
I'm no military genius. But I figure when you can buy four - count them: 1, 2, 3, 4! F-14 fighter jets- made with our tax dollars at a ballpark price of 38 million each -for less than $12,000- that's a bargain!
Just a little info for your afternoon.
