The question I really wanted answered was "how much is he asking for it?" I did a lot of searches on various search engines but couldn't find the answer. I guess it falls into that "if you have to ask, you can't afford it" category.

I did find a classified ad for the plane. The owner's phone number is there.

Last time I checked MiG 15 was $5M.


Are you sure you aren't thinking of a different Mig?? Mig 15s go for pretty cheap, like in the $100,000 range. I heard one was for sale in Brazil for $60,000. (good luck getting it home!)

I won’t do research right now, but as I recall airworthy MiG 15 modified to be legal in the US costs much more than museum-grade technically operational unmodified MiG 15.


It’s also going to cost a lot per hour to fly, given it’s age and the state of the labor & parts pool.


Yeah if you're not doing the work yourself, finding someone qualified, someone is going to have to rebuild parts, oh man that's got to be expensive.


You can get a Mig-29 for $4M.
