So they say that a lot of P-51's were sold as surplus after WWII for around $5,000, and when you adjust that number for inflation etc, you wind up with somewhere around $100,000 in 2011 bucks. It's pretty easy to see that some folks snagged a pretty amazing deal back in the good ole days! This Sea Harrier that was recently listed at barnstormers.com probably has a hundred grand wrapped up in gear legs and tires, but not surprising, the actual asking price for the whole airworthy airplane isn't posted. You know, if you have to ask...
It's also not fair to compare a surplus P-51 to a low time and fairly fresh Jump Jet that cost millions of dollars to produce. Which BTW, this is a BAE Harrier that served in the Royal Navy, not to be confused with the McDonnell Douglas Harriers that were built in the U.S. for the U.S. Marines. However, this is the modern FA2 version that was built in 1998 (the last year for production) and only has 1291 hours TTSN on the airframe and just 870 hours on the engine. This is also a long way away from the other Harrier for sale right now on eBay that's really just an early generation engine-less display relic... tho still plenty cool.
They say this gal is ready to fly, so if you've got the green and some mad Harrier flight skills in your logbook, this is a pretty hot setup. If you lack the mad flight skills, might I suggest you consider checking out this much cheaper and far easier to fly Varga Kachina instead : )
This could be you flying your very own BAE Sea Harrier!
