Immediately after ww2. P-51s were sold for $1.
Today you can't even get a cheap Cessna for less thatn $300,000.

>Today you can't even get a cheap Cessna for less thatn $300,000.
Very wrong. You can easily buy an airworthy single engine plane for less than $40,000. The cheapest new Cessnas start at under $200,000.

Surplus is for deficient subhumans.
With so much modern guns and gear widely available and for cheap there is literally no excuse to cuck yourself.

You'll never buy a surplus military helicopter that is affordable on a working man's wage. Then go camping at any spot big enough to land.

Even if I didn't *want* (which I totally fuckin' do) a 350-400 mph then-state-of-the-art fighter/attack plane (jets notwithstanding), this thing has a goddamn 1500hp supercharged V12.
I'd stick it in an old Packard luxury saloon.
>>30493299
I wish I could get one of these for cheap as surplus
>>30493573
superchargers are meme
turbo life
>ww2 surplus for $1
this is a 70, almost 80, year old meme.

So you're saying I *didn't* have to steal a Jeep by mailing it home one piece at a time, sir?

supposedly post Korea P-51s were $1500.
Which is still still a a fucking steal. As that is $14000 in today's dollars.
Imagine buying an A-10 or F-16 for the price of Honda Fit.

This is literally what could happen if you buy surplus. Don't be a cuck, only buy official® Lockheed Martin™ hardware direct from the source.
After WW1 you could buy ridiculously cheap Curtiss Jennies. Many of them were still in their cargo crates and unused.
The Curtiss Jenny was a true marvel.
