Tulio,

I know somebody had an F-86 Sabre cockpit section up for sale on barnstormers not too long ago. If you do a quick check it may still be posted. Not sure what the guy wanted for it but I would venture any type of cockpit project would be very pricy! $$$$ :shock:

Tulio,

This site, "Battlefield Firearms & Relics" has (or at least had) some ex-East German Mig 21 cockpits for sale ranging from $1,500 TO $9,800. Unfortunately it looks as though they are sold out.

hmm.. outta interest what do you guys think reasonable price would be for an F-4 or similar?
I'm asking as i personally love the F-4 but collecting pieces is proving expensive (relative to the price of say a complete MiG-15 or MiG21)

I hae a 99% complete Phantom Egress trainer and it wasn't cheap... And we wen't and picked it up in NY so not sure what the shipping would have cost ...

Will say that it did cost less then some of the seats you see listed now and then ...

Buddy Chapman of Les Chapman Transport, Inc. (the folks who just hauled that PBY for us) has a B-1 cockpit section for sale. :shock: I reckon if that guy buys that for his grandson for Christmas, it'll sure tell us if he's been naughty or nice, huh. :D
