I dont care if it doesnt flight.
I dont care if it doesnt have all the avionics hardware that might or not
work.
I dont care if the ejection chair has been fired on more than one occasions.
I dont care if it doesnt have air conditioning.
I dont care if it doesnt have power steering or power windows.

I just want a million Aussie dollar so I can ship it downunder and restore
it to a static display with a harden shelt built around it.

I dont even care if it doesnt have a cup holder. As long as I get a Go pill
every hour that I sit inside the pit :)

I think I need to get a better pay job.

Period.
