From the article "Owning a Private Jet is Cheap" *athttp://ezinearticles..com/?Owning-a-Private-Jet-is-Cheap&id=1007987:

"Owning your own jet may not be as unrealistic as you may have thought.
There are now thousands of business executives, athletes, and celebrities
flying their own personal jets every day. The idea of having this personal
mode of transportation is no longer for just the billionaires and world
leaders.

....A small jet that could carry 4-8 passengers would usually cost between
$3 to $4 million dollars about a decade ago, but now it could be yours for
roughly $1 million."

DUDE! *I had no idea that for a measily million dollars I wouldn't have to
stand in line at the airport! * * I wonder how much I could get for my jeep,
my boat, my house, my retirement, my kidney... *...no, I probably need that
to pass the physical to fly the jet... * * * * What has the entire American
middle class and the other 98% of the world been THINKING, man? *Jets are
CHEAP!

"Next time you are on a crowded plane and looking down at your small cup of
soda and the ridiculously small portion of old pretzels, just remember you
could be flying in style in your own relatively affordable jet."

Here's an even more reasonable idea: *Buy half a million dollars of pretzels
and soda and use the other half million for air travel. *That way, you'll
always have pretzels and soda.

I hope all these people like being flown around because there is no
way the insurance companies are going to let these people fly their
own planes.
