To put a single engined fighter back in the air would cost you at least a
million dollars, depending on it's condition at the start. Some of the aircraft
brought back from the pacific cost their owners more..... here again, because
of the condition of the airframe, missing parts, upgrading brakes and other
things, not to mention avionics. Multi-engine aircraft would, I'm sure, cost
more. A collector, in Va. Beach, Va. spent 1.25 million to put a P-40 back
into the air. Then, on top of that, there's fuel, insurance, maintenance,
and a place to keep it.
You thinking of buying one ?
