They must think we are idiots!!!!!
Every now and then I've been going back to sutter-meggen to find out when the new Swiss F/A-18 and Mirages were gonna be available. I'm still under shock... I mean, what's up with that???? Who the fu** is gonna buy these planes for 300.00US each + Shipping???

Just google B11E870, B11E854, B11E853 and see for yourself. I'm really disappointed because I was looking forward to get all 3.

I still can't believe it...

Re: They must think we are idiots!!!!!
That's nutty, but the way things are going you might get 'em on ebay in a few months for $20-40.....

I just got a retired Vikings Superbug for $30 and change... $200 online at some places. And a retired Chippy Ho legacy hornet for $30 and change as well.

Yeah... but i've never seen any swiss Hornets on ebay, and God knows I've been looking (Ebay and Ebay UK). At that price, they're gonna be stuck with it. I wonder if they are dealer versions... It's gotta be.

Oh well.

Re: They must think we are idiots!!!!!
Well, this guy definitely has crazy prices!

The new Hornet (which I am definitely going to get) retails for about 149 SFr.

The problem is that it ain't available yet.

And as for prices on retired Swiss Hornets on ebay, I've seen several go beyond the $300 mark.

Cheers,
AA

Re: They must think we are idiots!!!!!
Real question is will someone shell out for one of these at this price.

Well, part of the problem is the weak dollar of course.

Over here the prices stay the same but if you exchange Euros into $ its good for me.

The other way rounds its very bad for you guys.
