$10M for 19 Mig 29 and 20 extra engines. Surely it all must be in very poor condition?

No problem. MiG-29 has a Vs ≈ 100 kt.
I wonder what the operating restrictions are…

That would make a nice training fleet for an ATO NW London as they plan to replace their C152s fleet, but at that bargain price I tend to trust old C152s

I think you’re right and I’m wrong on this. I’ve just had a little google and Wikipedia says a thrust to weight of 0.78 so it seems very unlikely.
I doubt the Lightning could do a sustained vertical climb, let alone exceed mach 1 while doing it, because I have spoken to an ex RAF guy who told me one Lightning pilot was showing off and pointed the plane vertically up after takeoff, and it did a tail slide and crashed.

I think Falcons, Hornets, Typhoons or Mirage2000 are better comparisons to Mig29

I think they mean 6500ft/min? unless you VS = 1000ft/s which is higher than speed of sound !!
65.000 ft/min is correct, unloaded Mig29 an break the sound barier in vertical flight, its a widely known fact.
