I knew Iraq had an Air Force, this must be the first plane they caught on tape before it was blown up.

My luck it would fly perfect then crash and burn on the landing... I don't have very good experience with r/c planes. I'll stick to the ground thank you.... How do those things cost anyway?

I know those jets run way into the thousands. I crash way too much to drop that kind of scratch into a toy. Besides, divorce is expensive

RC Jets are awesome, I had 2 of them before getting out of the hobby. I had a Byron F16 which was powered by a ducted fan and had retractable landing gear. Also I had a Yellow Aircraft A-4 Skyhawk. They are very expensive to have and operate, they are not for people that have been in the hobby for a few short years. Also if you crash one there usually isn't much left to repair or reuse besides the $$ issue.

I included a pic of my F16 I had before selling off and getting into Harleys.

Here is some links to different manufacturers for more information.

It takes time and patience to get the skills needed for jets. I also flew helicopters for a while, they were the 30 & 40 size, I wanted the 60 size but $$ was short at the time.

If you ever want to get into jets, there are easy and hard ways of doing it. The biggest thing is people usually want the fastest, biggest one for their first jet. That is when it becomes a short lived hobby.

I will just keep playing with the ones I have until my skill level is higher, then maybe move up the ranks until I feel I have the skills to fly a jet. Will probably be a few years.
