Have you always dreamed of owning your own supersonic fighter jet? Then you must strike now. The only Saab J35 Draken registered in the US is for sale. And that for the “bargain price” of $ 249,000 (about 232,000 euros).
The Swedish supersonic jet was built in 1964 and is registered in the US under number N35350. A company called Dragon Holdings is named as the current owner.
The price is negotiable”
As the “Flugrevue” reported Thursday, Raptor Aviation’s approved aircraft is available for sale. However, the quoted price is negotiable.
The engine has only run for 244 hours since the last overhaul and has over 2700 hours left until the next mandatory general overhaul. In addition, the buyer receives a spare engine, a second hull and numerous spare parts are included in the purchase price.
Private pilot’s license is sufficient
According to “Flugrevue”, a private pilot’s license in the US is sufficient to fly the Mach 2 fast Dragons – however, the authority must make a corresponding entry in the license. And it costs the equivalent of $150,000.
The Dragons have been a household name in Austria for decades. That’s how they are dated army used for airspace surveillance from 1988. They were later retired and replaced by the Eurofighter Typhoon.
