Except when the motor stops in your supercar, you can pull over to the side of the road. |

Nothing more stylish for a wealthy mid-lifer than killing yourself in a surplus Eastern European jet trainer.
I think I would opt for killing myself in a P-51.

I've wanted a Harrier ever since I wrote a paper in grade school on VSTOL aircraft.

Good help is hard to find. Finding a ground crew and mechanics for an eastern European fighter jet would be troublesome.

I am waiting for the F-35 to hit the civilian market. I want the STOVL version because I don't have a very big back yard.

 This one really appeals to me because my Blue Angels ride back in 1976 was in a Skyhawk. |

Looks like it's flying over North Dakota.

A high school friend flew Harriers for the Marines. During the Falklands war he was on loan as a trainer to the Royal Air Force. Irked him no end that he could train other guys but couldn't go into action himself.
