Nice. Let's hope the buyer has the strength & cardiovascular fitness to tolerate any half-cocked acrobatic maneuvers he or she might attempt.

The rarity and absolute coolness is offset by maintenance requirements, fuel costs, and parts availability. It is amazing as fuck but (my conservative guess) $10k-$20k of operational costs per hour of flight would depress the market a bit. They have been renting them out in Russia for $20k+ per hour for a while.

Engines ran between 2-3 million each (I think).
Not sure on refurbished.

Yeah...without things like a tax base or loans from Russia, paying outta pocket can be a bitch.
