NORFOLK, Virginia (AP) -- You can now have your very own Navy F/A-18A Hornet jet fighter -- but some assembly may be required.

The price for the jet, which formerly belonged to the Navy's Blue Angels aerial demonstration team, is just over $1 million on the auction firm eBay, or about $9 million for a buyer who wants it assembled, painted and certified ready-to-fly.

Just have Shok build one. It's probably cheaper that way.

"riding on the top a fuel tank already half on fire"
That's an apt way of putting it.

If you had Shok build one you'd have to put up with pictures of Turd on the side, like the glamour babes they put on the noses of old airplanes.

I hear Dubya is going to buy it out of his pocket change so he can make more really cool "entrances" during the campaign season. :moon:
