Is it possible for a regular guy like myself to buy a jet engine?

thats what i'm worried about.
what if i start a fake company in an offshore country and pretend to buy just one engine for testing ?
if you look closer you'll notice most these aircraft don't have engines and the ones that are still there are completely toasted.

They'll sell you just one without any problems. You might have to go through PR instead of sales or wait for a bigger client to order a batch they can attach your order to, but they won't refuse your money.
As a serious enthusiast you also have the option to befriend an insider, someone in R&D or an engineering position, through their published work or at a conference and then go from there. People are always happy to talk about cool shit they have done with people who can really appreciate it. Once you are friendly with someone on the inside they might be able to direct you to someone else to talk to about you project.

Because they sold them.
They also don't have doors because that's also high wear part. Just look at any shit-tier airline next time you are at the airport. They always have mismatching doors. Like a puerto rican with a blue fender on his red civic.
Why would you think buying an engine would be illegal?

No
Yes.
In the USA, europe, and china you need a (((liscense))) because the creation of jets is a (((monopoly))) worldwide. By (((southwest))) and airbus respectively.

That's not true. The closest thing would be export restrictions on airplane parts, which are of no concern to anybody in the West. At the very worst you'd get a letter or a visit from some g-men.

Man I wish we had better airplane aesthetics nowdays, I fucking love those old toothpaste tube paint jobs.

none of these engines are even close to fly worthy, and no governmental agency will give you the green light to fly anything propelled by that.
the engines used in drag racing are either defective or past their life cycle and deemed unreliable.
