Newquay is served by Newquay Cornwall Airport (NQY) , six miles north of the city centre. Direct flights are available from London and most other major cities within the UK, with low-cost airlines offering most of the flights.
The unit cost for one Predator is about $4.5 million, according to DHS estimates. But the costs of operating a UAV can become more than double the costs of operating a manned aircraft, said the Congressional Research Service (CRS) last summer.(See Homeland Security: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Border Surveillance.).ased on that figure, keeping one UAV in the air every hour of the year would cost about $28.5 million. Homeland Security Todayâs Mickey McCarter has written the most thorough piece on SBInet that I have seen in the past several years.
The MiG-15, 17 and 21 are now available to collectors of jet aircraft in good quantity at what seems to be very low prices. I have seen MiG-15's advertised for $35,000, 17's for $40,000 and 21's as low as $20,000.The reality is twofold: First, it is indeed possible to own and operate these aircraft as civilians.Second is that it takes BUCKETS of money to really do it right. The MiG-15/17 series will have you spend about $100,000 to get one safely flyable and the 21 will cost twice that.I know all of this for a fact, having had at one time in my hanger 4 MiG-21's (a PF, U, UM & US for those who care) as well as a series of MiG 15/17 aircraft. have seen MiG-15's advertised for $35,000, 17's for $40,000 and 21's as low as $20,000. The reality is twofold: First, it is indeed possible to own and operate these aircraft as civilians. Second is that it takes BUCKETS of money to really do it right.
