for your private use, and lets be somewhat reasonable, no very modern jets like the F-22/F-35. Nothing that will cost millions of dollars. We're talking demilitarized jets that could be imported with little hassle. What would you buy? Here's one I found that would be pretty sweet. http://www.majorsurplus.com/Russian-MIG-21-Jet-Aircraft-P1772C270.aspx I think I'd like any of these: F-105 F-4 Mig-21 Mig-25 would be perfect, but I think that exceeds the limit of reasonable procurement.
F4 would be awesome, but if you stretch the criteria a little I would love an F14. For something more reasonable I reckon a Sabre would be cool, or an F5E. An A26 would be great for flying with friends. There's heaps really. Edit: Fvck all that, I'll take a Draken http://www.f-16.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=49099 http://www.controller.com/listings/detail.aspx?OHID=1097347 US$449000 and US$350000
id 2nd that. but <A BORDER="0" HREF="http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?displayFAQ=y"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="pitlane/emoticons/sad.gif"></A> at rediculously expensive to run but yeah the f-104 2nd for sheer speed
F4U Corsair, I think its one of the most beautiful ww2 planes ever. After that would be a B-1 Lancer.
1. Blackbird 2. Mustang or equivalent 3. B-17 or B-29 Mustang would probably fit the cost criteria best.

We're talking demilitarized jets that could be imported with little hassle. The Tu160 and the B2 are both in service. An sr71 is UNmaintainable: fuel goed for 60$+ per litre...
