Military Aircraft For Sale

Boeing F/A-18 Hornet

Don Kirlin, a pilot and real estate agent in Illinois, purchased not one but multiple squadrons worth of surplus Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) F/A-18 Hornets to be used in the contractor adversary air support role here in the United States. They priced out to be roughly $5 million per unit.

The McDonnell Douglas built the F/A-18 Hornet. They designed the aircraft to be a multipurpose jet, including a fighter and air defense. The F/A-18 has twin engines, giving it supersonic capabilities, and it also is all-weather capable. The jet entered service in 1974 and, as of 2021, is still used in militaries in all around the world.
