J35 Draken from 1964 in mint condition. For sale for only 425,000 dollars. And there are five more for sale in the United States. But interest is cool.
There are aircraft broker Platium Fighter Sales in California who put the Dragon Planet to sale on its website. It is unmistakably similar to the Dragon Plan which was previously for sale at aircraft broker Wolfe Aviation in San Francisco and New Technology wrote about in September 2010.
Hello Simon Brown, owner of Platinum Fighter Sales. Is it the same plane?
– Yes, the Dragon: I have for sale is the same one you wrote about five years ago, answers Simon Brown at Ny Teknik emails.
Even then, the plane had remained unsold at Wolfe Aviation in Stockton east of San Francisco for five years. Aircraft Broker Verlyn Wolfe still had reduced the price several times from 499,000 dollars to 175,000 dollars and thought that he would be forced to lower further.
– It is a piece of history that I have mentioned here. It is a shame that she will stand on the ground and collect dust, said Verlyn Wolfe.
But there was no deal. Instead, the plane completely renovated and walked over to Los Angeles realtor Platium Fighter Sales. Where the price has gone up again after the renovation. Simon Brown offers out there for 425,000 dollars, nearly 3.5 million.
– Right now this is the only dragon Plan is on sale. It has gone through a ordenlig renovation in recent years. But the current owner has through its business partners access to five additional Dakenplan and we discuss whether we should not put them for sale too, writes Simon Brown to new technologies.
In that case, will also lay out a comprehensive stock of spare parts and several spare engines to försäljnjngen.
– It’s enough to keep six Dragon Plane flying for many years, says Simon Brown.
The plan ended up in the US for about fifteen years ago and comes from both the Swedish and the Danish Air Force.
– They have been used on a government contract. The plan has been playing villains during naval exercises, says Simon Brown.
In the US, it is quite common for enthusiasts own old fighter aircraft. But just J35 Draken and the corresponding is no cheap toys. With the afterburner, it consumes 400 liters of jet fuel in minutes. Expect an hourly rate of over 80 000 SEK. And the pilot must be trained and certified to fly jets.
To find a buyer in Sweden is unlikely. The plane is registered in the US and to take it over to Europe requires entirely new state by a rather bureaucratic process.
