This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

Good grief - can you imagine the fuel tab for flying that beast?! I am surprised that an outfit like Draken Int'l doesn't pick it up. They have the largest civilian fleet of ex-military jets in the world made up of:
11 - ex RNZAF A4 skyhawks
9 - Aeramechi 339s
27 - MiG 21s
5 - L-39s
Nice fleet eh? A Fulcrum would fit right in there!

Tom, I think they have some ex-Israeli A-4s as well as "ours". Certainly a decent-sized air force!

That's 52, but I remember reading an article earlier this year and I swore it said their fleet was in the 70's.
Is this the one from Washington or is his the other one that was imported at the same time? It's been for sale for a while now though.

N29UB is still at the Flying Heritage Collection.

Draken International is in Lakeland and I would not be surprised if they look at it at least.

Yep, not the WA one.
This is the one in WA:
This is the one being offered for sale:

I wonder how many flyable 29s there are in the US now, just these two?
