Some people find aircraft boneyards interesting, but this guy has gone several steps further and owns various military jets, plus a squadron of F18's and 4 Mig 29's.

Amazing! A whole niche I had no idea existed! "What colour should I paint my Hornets?"

What with that and Elon's private space rockets, are we moving closer to a Bond-style 'Madman in Volcano HQ' scenario?

You can see a pair of his MiG 29's parked on the ramp at Quincy Regional Airport, Illinois.

Good spot. That must be his L39 on the deck opposite, next to the hanger.

Nice to see he has some hawks and holds them in high regards.

Very cool! Not short a new quid then, upkeep and maintenance must be eye watering.

The ex-RAAF Hornet's are shagged out.........they are all almost time ex'd from reading most accounts.
