Default NW_Pilot's Trans-Atlantic Flight -- All the scary details...

Yes. Still cheaper than a Baron 58, the aircraft I like, which
apparently sells for just over a million dollars now. It's a rich
man's hobby.


I read the other day that a new Baron is selling for (I think) $1.7
million now.

Personally, I think you'd have to be dumber than a box of rocks to pay
that much for a Baron -- hell, you can get a nice biz-jet for less --
but there were apparently 17 people in 2005 that possessed the unique
dual-qualities of "dumb enough to do it, and rich enough to afford
it"...
