It would have to be demilled sufficiently so it would not be a
military threat, but otherwise it wouldn't be much different to owning
any other warbird. Just more expensive.
With the exception of B-52s. Even B-52 display aircraft are accounted
for in START II and a limit set at a specific number. Additionally,
*all* B-52 display aircraft are owned by the Air Force Museum. You may
pay for refurbishment, you may pay to keep it looking good, but
tommorow the Air Force Museum can come and take it back.

Yeah,maybe they'll want some parts from it!
Bummer,refurb a BUFF,and Uncle Sam comes along and strips it for the new
parts you had made at great cost and effort. ;-)
