You may be wondering if it’s acceptable for a civilian to fly and own a helicopter that’s supposed to be used for the military. Well, you’ve come to the right place! We will help you understand whether or not civilians can own military helicopters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Civilians can own a military helicopter that is old and used. However, it’s illegal to buy and own militarized aircraft, which are aircrafts that are equipped with weapons. This could mean weapons found inside or outside the aircraft.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Now that we know the basic knowledge of owning a military helicopter, let’s dive right into the detailed do’s and don’ts that come with owning military aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is very possible to own a military helicopter. There are just some things you may need to keep in mind when becoming a helicopter owner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Military helicopters are frequently listed on the pages of different sites that sell aircrafts. These sites include Controller, Trade-A-Plane, Barnstormers, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You will need to avoid buying or owning a helicopter that is militarized inside<\/strong> or outside the aircraft<\/strong>. You must also avoid aircrafts that contain military mission systems like fire control radars, designators, electronic warfare suits, or advanced engines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The sale of the weapon systems mentioned above require congressional approval.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Just like military helicopters, the jet must be demilitarized<\/strong>, which includes taking out all of the guns, radar equipment, and any other secret tech that was previously used by the military. Any of this equipment would be considered dangerous in the hands of a civilian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The majority of military jets cost around $50,000- $200,000<\/strong>. If you are wanting to own a military jet, know how much of an investment it will be when you buy it, and the costs to maintain the structure and function of the jet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When flying, military jets certainly have their challenges. The average speed that these jets can fly is 450 mph. If the passenger or pilot isn’t accustomed to flying at those kinds of speeds, there can be some unfortunate effects on your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When flying these planes, it would be hard to resist making the most of its aerobic capabilities, but there are some things that you should know before attempting any tight turns. There is increased gravity on your body when you do tight turns and when a plan reaches 4gs or above, your body may start to experience G-LOC<\/strong>, and you may begin to pass out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to know the risks and safety that come with flying aircraft that can potentially reach speeds up to 450 mph<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Flying a helicopter or plane privately can be dangerous. More dangerous than flying with a commercial airline. Now that you know you could potentially own a military aircraft, it’s vital to know the measures you should take to ensure your safety when flying aircraft like this.
