This F-101 was originally sold on Ebay and the buyer was bogus. The aircraft was loaded and ready for shipment… buyer did not even show up. The aircraft is currently in Texas and is an uncut airframe. The aircraft is a "shell" only with an UNCUT WING. We do have contacts that have literally tons of parts in Canada. I have 6 engines available for it as well. The aircraft could be made a flyer. The aircraft is available to view, please email me to make an appointment. Current owner is looking to recover monies invested as he has no place to store it and thinks that scrapping it may bring a ROI …. this is why I am asking if there is anybody out there interested. Thanks www.airwarbirds.com

But wasn’t the minimum bid on E-Bay $20,000,000? That seems quite high for a non-flying plane. John – N8086N Big brother is watching. Disable cookies in your web browser.

For an American supersonic aircraft with an un-cut wing, complete with landing gear and canopy (infact 2) and manuals ……. no I would to expect to pay at least $40 to $50 000 for this project. www.airwarbirds.com

We’ve got a nice F-101 on static display up here in Bangor, Maine. Sits right at the front gate of the base, and most here miss the F-101s since they symbolized the end of our base as a figher-town, to that of a tanker one. $20,000 is asking a lot. I’ve seen F-104s and such trade hands for under $10,000, and those were flight worthy.

Bill: I thank you for your question. Although we DO have our own A-4 pics (and other finished aircraft) on the net, we don’t have others…why? You raise a good point. Maybe the best way I can explain it is to put you in the position of shopping for an aircraft on the net. Not all of our aircraft are in flying state, or for that matter look anything like an aircraft as we have to restore "every nut and bolt". Infact all our aircraft start the same … as a project. We then start the restoration process. Would you think about purchasing a multi million dollar aircraft when it is spread across the hangar floor (so to speak)? … The idea with file photos is not one of deception but rather one of demonstrating the end result. In this business you are buying the end product. We do however have the owner choose their aircraft and they are invited to inspect not only the aircraft before purchase but our facilities as well. Thank you for your question Kirby J Duffy www.airwarbirds.com
– Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – Why do you not place photos of the actual aircraft you are selling on your site The f-16 pic and the f-18 pics are not the actual aircraft so how can a buyer decide if he / she might want to come down to see the plane? Ladies and gentleman Bottom Line Price No dicker sticker price ,….. $18 000 USD not a penny less …. I have 2 other partners on this aircraft that want their money and it’s either this option or scrap….. The wing is worth that much alone …comes with manuals and extra canopy.

$20K is asking a lot??? Consider when the next time you see an F-101 for sale and one that is not demilled??? And as for an F-104 for under $10,000 tell me where and I’ll buy it just so I can have parts for my -104… A flyable -104 goes for about 200,000. And good luck if you can find one that is flyable or one that is just for static display. Scott (F-104 owner)

$10,000 for an airworhy F-104? Did you leave off a couple of zeros? It’s hard to find a decent Cessna 150 for $10,000. Next time you find an airworthy jet for under $10,000 please let me know!
Response:
Thank you That is correct 20 thousand! www.airwarbirds.com
I stand corrected. That makes a lot more sense. John – N8086N Big brother is watching. Disable cookies in your web browser. Wise man says "Never use a bank with the initials F. U."

Then it SURE would have been nice if he had pointed that out when Flavius asked whether $20,000,000 was too much for a plane like this and he responded that he did NOT think that it was too high. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I guess you have to realize you are buying a project aircraft and not a new bird off the line. I’m confused. Flavius stated that he had heard that the minimum bid on Ebay for the F-101 was twenty million dollars. You stated that you would expect to pay perhaps forty thousand for this in one of your posts. Then here you imply that twenty million is not out of line for a "project aircraft." Somewhere some wires got crossed. George Patterson, N3162Q. He was saying that the reason this aircraft is so much cheaper than an F-16 is that it is a project aircraft, not a new one. I checked the ad on E-bay when this was first posted, and I remember the minimum bid being much, much lower than $20,000,000, more like $20,000. Brian

So the price isn’t anywhere near "20 MILLION DOLLARS" as quoted here.. Just what is the BOTTOM LINE on this old wreck !

Response:
Actually 14 (est.) million will buy you an F-16. As shown on our website. www.airwarbirds.com
Makes the point even more. If $14 will buy a new F-16, why would any serious bidder place a bid for a non-flying F-101 that is a "project aircraft" when the minimum bid is $20 million dollars? Why would any sane person do that? Do I think there is a big difference between 40 thousand and 20 million? Hummmmmmmmm? I guess you have to realize you are buying a project aircraft and not a new bird off the line.
So you are saying that a project bird is worth 500 times as much as a new bird? What’s the logic involved in that claim? A new Ford Expedition is something like $40,000. Would you be willing to pay $20,000,000 for my 1975 Ford Bronco. Hey, it’s a project truck? – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – But don’t you think there is a BIG difference between $40 to $50 THOUSAND dollars and $20 MILLION dollars? The latter will buy you a brand new F-16… un-cut wing, landing gear, canopy, engine and guns! (Assuming, of course, that they would actually let you make the purchase.)
