That’s gonna ‘ding’ his wallet a bit. BTW, anybody know the current laws/regulations concerning the private ownership of ex-military aircraft? You don’t often hear about military jets in private hands. Darned few of them.

As I've heard it:

When it takes full power to taxi - you just might have forgotten to put your gear down before landing.

That also should give the crash crew guys there something to do. They don’t call the AV8 [Harrier] series the North Carolina lawn dart for nothing..
