What a nice change of pace this story is!

US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says

The US has purchased 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan, a report from the Kyiv Post says.

Kazakhstan, a historic ally of Russia, is engaging more with Western nations.

The planes could be used for spare parts or as decoys in conflict regions, the Kyiv Post reported.

ooo I know how a rental can have ill-eagle tinted windows!

He rented it from another state that does not have that stupid ass law. And being Canadian, dude probably did not realize that different states have different laws even about small things like that, and just thought it was cool.

If so, add "out of state rental" to the actual reason he was yanked besides DWB. The two in combination were probably irresistible to the cops.
