From my F4 typed next door neighbor: I was hooked until I got to the part about it having “the less potent J79-GE-2 engine.”

This was sent to me by a buddy:
Even if someone could find an extra $3.9M to buy it, operating & maintenance costs would rule most of us out. The F-4 in full afterburner burns 1550 pounds of fuel per minute (@ 6.7 lbs/gal x $5.50/gal for Jet A) ==è $1,272/minute
Internal fuel varies, but in ballpark of 12,000 lbs which gives you about 7 minutes 45 seconds before you flame out. Even at cruise power, (3000 lbs/hr/engine x 2 engines = 6,000 lbs/hr = 896 gal/hr x $5.50/gal = $4,928/hr), this is not an economical ride!
The message to younger pilots - - - join the military and let the taxpayers pay for your gas!

From the ad: Engines: to be overhauled General Electric J-79-8 upgraded to -15 3x engines currently at Aero Turbine awaiting overhaul 2x engines in California as spares

And it's been more than forty years but I seem to recall fuselage fuel was 7400# and there was another 2600 in the wings for 10000 internal.
