It's amazing what a visit from the BATF will do for the mindset of an
executive, even one as tough as the lady CEO at Ebay...
There simply is no way the government is going to allow a supersonic fighter
to be sold into private hands without their approval... The fella that has
them is going to get a lot of heat put to his feet before this is over...


BATF? Unless the plane is still armed, why would they be involved?

There are ways around government disapproval. I used to see an
F-104 Starfighter at airshows that was privately owned. The gov. did
not approve of private citizens buying one of these, but there wasn't
a whole lot they could do about this guy. He built the entire plane
from spare parts he picked up from sources around the world (mostly
Germany,IIRC).
