There was a great looking T-38 in TAP a year or two ago for a cool million. It
took a while to sell but has a heck of a roll rate and I suppose you could fly
out over the ocean when you want to go supersonic.

The Tweety Bird for sale that someone posted looks very sharp and you don't get
a panel crammed with stuff.

The T-34's out there are mostly in somewhat questionable condition because of
spar damage or limitations. They have an hour meter/stress accumulator and most
are at or beyond their limits. I have heard of some complicated and expensive
fixes but you are talking $300,000 or more for a warn out Bonanza with tandem
seating (and a stick :-)

Once in a while there is an Army or Navy FAC Cessna Mixmaster with logbooks
back to Vietnam that has been restored to original condition -- armored seat,
full windowed right hand door, etc. I saw one in TAP with good engine times for
$65,000. I called as soon as I saw it and it was already on the way to a new
owner. In Texas IIRC.
