...plus about $1,000,000 for the military itself.

#2 Just wait til one of 'em starts another war over a soccer match...

Won't be as much fun as the last time - Salvadoran P-51Ds vs Honduran F4U Corsairs - and supposedly, the old Sandinista AF had a working P-61B Black Widow nightfighter.
Man, I'd pay good money to see a fight like THAT.

#3 I remember seeing a news report one time that was talking about how Honduras' air force was one of the most modern in the Central America. The film clip showed what looked like an F-86 Sabre taking off.
