But There Is No Guarantee That The Aircraft Are Airworthy

If you've ever dreamed of owning your own UH-60A Black Hawk helicopter, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) has four on the auction block through early March.

All four are currently located in Huntsville, AL and the opening bid on each is $200,000.

The aircraft were all manufactured around 1980, and GSA has posted a detailed maintenance record for each aircraft.

The caveat, of course, is that there is no warranty offered with the surplus aircraft. "The condition of the property is "as is" condition. Physical inspection of the records and aircraft strongly recommended. All sales are final and no warranty is implied or applied. Aircraft may not be in compliance with applicable FAA requirements. Buyer is responsible for completing the End Use Certificate and bringing the aircraft into compliance with 14 CFR Chapter 1, or other applicable standards, by obtaining all necessary FAA inspections or modifications. The removal time frame will be extended so that the "End Use Certificate" DLA form can be completed by the winning bidder and must be approved by the Department of Defense before the aircraft shall be released to the winning bidder.

But even if you don't have $200,000, the GSA says if the reserve price is not met, the aircraft may be offered to high bidder at the discretion of the government.

The online auction for the aircraft is open through March 2.
