I would not be so quick to say that this airplane has no military ability and is a cheap performance copy. The agreement between the Blue Angels and the Navy is that their aircraft can be readily adapted to use in wartime if need be. From what I heard this one only lacks the ejection seat.

Just think, if ole Usama had bought that aircraft carrier that was on Ebay last month for 10 million he would have him self a real nifty little navy and this jet comes with the hook and the gear to land on a carrier.
