Perhaps the $ in front of the number means something else...

For only an additional $700K, you can get yourself a mig 29.

Wet rate is probably $20,000/hour or similar though, $50k/hour or more if you use afterburners.

Those old warbirds are nothing short of just sexy. Glad someone with the money can restore for everyone to enjoy outside instead of sitting in a museum somewhere.

Completely different category, but probably one of the most impressive plane I have seen doing a low pass in a meeting. The Low pass starts at the 2 min mark. I was there, on the flight line, opposite to the public, and we all either hit the deck or made ourself really, really small ....

I have to imagine that a lot more people would enjoy the plane in a museum compared to in some private hangar some where.
