Why Pedersen shouldn't own his own battleship

Didn't John Travolta buy an F-16?
Granted it was probably demilitarized, but still. An F-16!!
Still the only plane that I know of that can accelerate while going vertical!

I say, hell, if you've got the money to buy it, go for it. Providing that it has been demilitarized, and/or you are not a felon.

I'd love to have me a 2 1/2 or 5 ton truck.

This probably goes without saying but, the Raptor can (that thing just kicks epic ass)

And I would totally drop some serious cash on a classic huey, the god of all things helicopter-ish

Even if privately purchased aircraft/vehicles still had functioning weapons/mounts (which they don't) most if not all of said weapons are impossible to get anyway. The only exception would be a Browning 50 cal and vanilla .50 BMG for it. Still, once you're spending millions on a plane I can see taking an extra step towards dissallowing any potential deadly-ness.

A huey? UH-1? Utility Helicopter - like the Vietnam era transport helo?
Bah, go for the AH-64 Apache!
Or the AH-1 Cobra is still pretty good too.

But neither of them make that thwop thwop thwop sound!

Thwop Thwop Thwop sound is cool, but the others are known for their "Brrrrap, Brrrrrap, Brrrrraap, Brrrrap; Schwoooom, Schwoooom" Sounds.
(bad spellings for machine guns and rockets being fired)

And the AH-1 and AH-64 do make sounds - similar rotary blade system, it's probably just not as pronounced. The AH's also tend to fly a bit higher than the UH.

If I get my own aircraft carrier can I start hosting my own world martial arts tournaments and coat the losers in metal to make living statues?
