Real Military Aircraft That Can Now Be Purchased By Everyday Civilians

Panavia Tornado – Cost: $3 million

The Panavia Tornado is a fighter jet created from a collaborative effort between the UK, West Germany, and Italy in the 1970s. It was intended to satisfy a multitude of combat roles and became a staple of many European militaries. It is still flying to this day in some of them. Three main variants were produced: the IDS (interdictor/strike), the ADV (air defense) and the ECR(electronic warfare/reconnaissance). At high altitudes, the Tornado can reach Mach 2.2 speeds and at sea level, it maxes out at around 900 miles per hour. It has been touted for its ease of maneuverability thanks to the variable-sweep wings and pilots enjoy the spacious and surprisingly quiet cockpit. All of these qualities make it an ideal military aircraft for sale for a private owner if you can manage to get your hands on one. They rarely appear on the market, so if you happen to find one and can afford to own a massive military fighter jet of your own, jump on it!
