	There are several types of problems you might potentially run
into with buying a "military" aircraft. When DG went to buy an engine 
for his Starfighter, he had a devil of a time getting one, as the Air
Force did not want to let an individual have that powerful an aircraft.
Current production runs are even worse, due to the fact that many of the
avionics are classified, along with certain parts of the basic airframe,
overall capabilities, etc, so the Goverenment would probably block any
such sale out of hand, using the "classified information" dodge.  Plus
there would be problems with the FAA, BATF, and  heaven only know what
else.
