Russian SU-27 Fighters, Space Shuttle For Sale

Got a few million bucks burning a hole in your Swiss bank account? Maybe you’re in the market for an alternative to your boring Lear jet? Pride Aircraft has obtained a couple of one of Russia’s premier Cold War-era aircraft, the Sukhoi SU-27, and will sell one to you for $5M. These bad boys have been rebuilt and modernized for the discriminating private fighter jet shopper. Maybe you’re in the market for a spacecraft? If so, NASA has you covered with a pair of space shuttles for $28.8M each and they’ll even throw in the shuttle’s main engines for free. Call your banker and have some assets liquidated before these are sold! Thanks to Dead_D for the heads up on the shuttle!

It’s definitely not for everybody, but if pure performance and excitement is what you’re after for, look no further. When it comes to sheer bang-for-the-buck, the SU-27 is tough to beat, says Tom Haines, editor in chief of Pilot magazine, published by the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. "For what you get from a performance standpoint, and a thrill standpoint, it’s a great value," Haines says. "Now, putting gas in them is another story."
