If I recall, you run into serious I/E problems with anything newer than a MiG-21.

During moments of insanity I attempt to wrap my head around a Foland Gnat because they're adorable. They're like the BD-5J in that Bond film but, like, real aircraft capable of hitting Mach 1 with a good running start and a steep slope. But then I usually check the spot price on Jet A, remind myself that a Foland Gnat burns about a hundred gallons per hour and recognize that it's about an order of magnitude cheaper to book a flight on Southwest.
