Goes off to measure drive to see if its long enough to take off and land.

Love to give one of those 'we're lovely people who'll insure everything and put a smile on your face' smugsurance companies a ring and ask them for a quote with a straight face.

If its been used to train mechanics and it still has its engine in one piece it should be fresh enough and just need a run through to make sure everything is working/tighten up/prepare for AA test. I would imagine its not easy to find a jet that can be flown with a private licence.

(I know nothing about planes but like the idea of having one lol)

Only it's not a "fighter jet", is it?

It's a BAC jet Provots T5, which was the RAF basic trainer up until the arrival of the Tucano in the mid/late 1980s.

Actually it's a T Mk 5A - as evidenced by the lack of tip tanks and the fact it is fitted with both VOR as well as DME.

The T Mk 5s had the tanks and no VOR.

I don't mind being out geeked by a girl.

In fact, I'm impressed.

At least I didn't think it was a Strikemaster.

Id have thought it would need a C/D check (iv just started in commercial so I'm not sure about private)not sure how long it would take on a 2 seater but its 3 months on an A300 (24 hours a day 5 days a week and lots of people), and thats on a plane that can still fly so you'd need a lot of cash to get this going lol
however it could be good for something like this
