• 7-Year-Old Kid Buys Harrier Jet Fighter
    38 replies, posted
[quote=Gizmodo] A 7-year-old kid came closer to realize every kid's dream than any of us: He bought a real Harrier fighter jet for $113,000 on eBay. Yes, a Harrier Jump Jet T-Bird Aircraft XW269. The whole shebang, weaponry not included. Sadly, his dreams were shattered the same day, after his dad found out about the purchase and quickly contacted the company selling it—Jet Art Aviation—telling them the story and asking to cancel the sale. Obviously, they understood it and put it back on the auction block. But here's the good news, kid: It wasn't really worth it. The airplane—which flew for the last time in 1997 after 26 years in the Royal Air Force—was not in working condition for legal reasons. Fixing it would have cost you several million dollars. Chin up, though. Now you will be able to spend all that money in something a lot more awesome. You know, like a college education.

Oh what in the world.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;27952549]Only 113,000 $ ? I thought fighter jets are more expensive than that[/QUOTE] Well, it was not in a working condition and would have needed heavy investments to fix it up.

[QUOTE=knutmora;27952501]Kids are stupid.[/QUOTE] Beacuse this isn't obvious at all.
The kid's got his head screwed on properly. At least he isn't out buying Jonas Brothers CDs.

Lucky fuck
Harrier airstrike inbo- [quote]fixing it would have cost you several million dollars[/quote] Nevermind.
Harriers are officially discontinued, so this kid was lucky to even find one for sale.
My neighbor wants to be a border patrol.
Even if it's broken I would still buy it, But instead of flying it I would just sit inside of it while making shooting noises and pretending to pilot it.
