I’ve just been having a look at the recently updated listings on the Courtesy Aircraft website,and it makes for interesting viewing to say the least! Perhaps the most surprising of all the new additions is a Mil Mi24D Hind attack helicopter in full airworthy trim,going for a cool $750k. There’s also a Gnat,LiM5/Mig17,Fouga Magister and a gorgeous P40E to name but a few.
Top of the list is Grumman F8F-2 Bearcat N800H,offered at a cool $1.75m. This is ‘Wampus Cat’,formerly operated over here in the UK by TFC at Duxford in the mid 90’s.

Mil-24 for sale
Sorry not OPTEC, but one on lease to USAF and has been flown by the 6th SOS at Hurlburt Field, Floirda. At least 4 have been seen and maintenance on them has been carried out at the Destin Florida airport. Also noted in the past have been AN-2, AN-32, and a couple of MIL-8

Hello All
The Hind looks like one of the OPTEC airframes that are/were operated from (correct me if I am wrong) Biggs AAF in Texas.
They had some Mi-14s as well as Mi-24s, and some An-2s as well, have they all been retired?
