Now that jet ownership is so inexpensive...
From the article "Owning a Private Jet is Cheap" at
http://ezinearticles.com/?Owning-a-P...eap&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. -c |

I looked up the latest number of millionaires in the US and found 9.2 millions of them. There are 1.16 millions household with networth more than $5 million http://tinyurl.com/2g6yge For these households, a jet costing only one million is quite affordable. Besides most likely many of them are business owners and can easily write off most of the cost to business operating expenses. Just ask Jay how it is done ;-) One of my former flight instructors who was a retired college professor but had nice consulting business bought a spanking new Bonanza with all the gizmos for 0.64 millions two years ago. It was before Bonanza lower the price to half a million or so. I may be one of them jet owners someday when I finally break down and spend a buck on a lottery ticket. Hey, you never know ;-) Hai Longworth |

Where I live, the skies are 100% booked each weekend with private planes flying above me. There is already no room and too much noise from those already up there! |

I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor, just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that might kill someone. |

It already has crossed, at least in terms of the Eclipse - not no much so for other models. |
