The initial asking price? $1 million unassembled, or $9 million assembled and certified airworthy 'with your choice of paint*' - more info is available via a Yahoo News story. I wonder how much it would cost to fully arm it? The same person selling the F/A-18 is also selling a 1950's T-33, and claims they'll soon be auctioning off an F-16 and a Mig-29 as well. Build your own air force for fun and profit!"

If this were a gun, you'd have the IRA and the 2nd amendment on your side. As far as arming it? Shit, all you have to do is crash the thing! (As McDonnough said about the use of force, if it doesn't work, you just need more of it. This article speaks to the feasability of that premise.)
