Dieselman, come on up to Waco for the Greater SW Jet Rally amigo!!! and tell Jack to bring the Jacknife!!!

airstart engines RULE!!!!! welcome to the team. LMAO

ORIGINAL: Dieselman1220

Lol yea who knows my first jet was early this year, a Yellow F15 with and old AMT airstart, the complete package RTF minus TX and RX cost me a whopping $2000
Airframe and turbine were in great condition only had about 10 flights total then it just sat for a few years. I doubt I will ever find a deal like that again though.
Now I have a MBA Tornado with AMT 180, and a Tamjets f-16 that I will get a K80 for next week. (my first new turbine) I never thought I could afford turbine jets
but you just gotta be smart about it. There are some killer deals out there right now if you got the cash. I was thinking the other day Ill have 3 RTF jets
and less than $7500 total invested. Before I didnt even think i could get one for that price lol. Granted Im running old Air start engines but they work great!
