Could you image firing that up on your driveway on a sunny weekend in your development while the neighbors are enjoying an afternoon wine and cheese gathering on the back patio?
What is the distance needed to get it off the ground. I have a neighbor I like to piss off. The Hemi Dart does it, but that would be better.Could you image firing that up on your driveway on a sunny weekend in your development while the neighbors are enjoying an afternoon wine and cheese gathering on the back patio?
For Sale: 1959 McDonnell F4H-1F Phantom II for only $3.9 millionI could sell everything I have and it wouldn't be a drop in the bucket to what that thing is worth. I will have to keep playing with what I have.
I'm sure RC could afford it...
@dadsbee already has a hanger.It would probably fit in his new garage, too.
If somebody gave me that, I couldn't afford the fuel.
F-4 fuel flow, in pounds per hour (pph):
Idle: 800 - 1400 pph for each engine
Military power: 7500–9000 pph for each engine
Max AB: 40-45000 pph for each engine
Jet fuel weighs about 6.5 pounds per gallon and costs about $2 per gallon.

I was thinking the same thing as to fuel.
Gotta be a millionaire to buy it, and a millionaire to fuel it.
If it was flyable, who the hell has a licence to fly it?
And what ex military F-4 pilot ever became a millionaire to buy it, and fly it?
It's not flyable now, as it is, then how is anybody going to get it from point A, to point B?
Even with the wings folded, it would be too wide for a flat bed, tractor-trailer to transport it anywhere.
??????The story said it was 85% done.???????It's been restored to flight status even the injection seats are loaded and ready to go.
