If anyone felt the need to buy a military aircraft, we have some good news. Many people do not know that as manufacturers make new generations of aircraft and militaries decommission the older ones, several become available to the public. Heck, people can buy planes still in operation depending on which one they want. We have compiled a list of real military aircraft from fighter jets, WWII planes, and transport aircraft that everyday civilians can now purchase. Please enjoy.
Lockheed F-104 Starfighter – Cost $28,000
The Starfighter was developed with help from renowned aeronautical engineer, Kelly Johnson. Johnson was also involved in the development of the U-2 spy plane and the SR-71 Blackbird. This military aircraft for sale proved particularly deadly to operate and was plagued with controversy during its operational lifetime. Nonetheless, according to the FAA, there are ten privately owned F-104 Starfighters in the US. Three of which are ex-Canadian military aircraft belonging to the civilian demonstration team, Starfighters Inc. of Clearwater, Florida. In 2011, there was a restored, albeit engineless, F-104 for sale in the UK for £25,000.
