Surely anything is ‘capable of flight’ – thus the phrase is meaningless. One could make a barn door fly given enough power and money!

It isn’t capable of flight though, is it! It claims 85% complete, yet the pictures show big holes where things are missing – every panel is held on by one or two screws. Why would you paint it when you are that far out from flight? They want $4m for it, and the engines still need to be overhauled…
I think if you knocked a zero off you might be somewhere near.

“World’s only privately owned Phantom CAPABLE of flight”.
Not the only civil Phantom…after all the Collings Foundation has been flying a F-4 for years. I’m sure some can…and will..quibble with their Phantom, owned by a foundation as “privately owned”, but it isn’t military or government owned.
