If only I had $2.5 million...

.... for a "business jet"???

I saw this thing on display in the hangar at Westair (HPN) this
morning: http://www.avtechgroup.com/

Had to roll my tongue back into my mouth.

Anyone have the latest word on Honda's jet?

What a neat way for a private pilot to get into agriculture! Wonder if they
throw in the John Deeres too or just the farm alone?

A lot less if you look around (Cessna) which raises doubts about
letting you above FL290 which is a bridge you will need to cross.

Have a great one!

And a lot of patience... It's supposed to be available in ought six
and hasn't been certified yet. Course, one can always dream :-))

I really don't know what's the fuss is all about, there are tons of MiG's
outthere that cost way less than that, paying $2.5M for a certified a/c vs
under $500K for a real supersonic
MiG fighter doesn't seem to make much sense. Either way these kinds of
planes are a sure way into farming for an average private pilot, won't even
have time to get scared

Ah, but a MiG would be certified Experimental/Exhibition. You'd need a
letter of authorization for every flight.

Since I don't plan to buy the farm any time soon, I'm just dreaming in 24-bit
theater-quality visual resolution anyway.

It was just cool seeing the thing (Javelin) on the ground.

Yah, but you'd probably pay the difference in fuel and maintenance
over a couple of years.

A few years ago I had a chance to buy a low time L39 with a spare,
brand new engine still in the can for $60,000. Now look at the prices
on them. They are much less expensive to operate so the demand and
prices went wayyyy up.

Course, I remember when I had a chance to pick up five P-51s for
something like $7,500 each and they were already fueled. Just get in
and fly 'em home... But... I think that was more than a few years
back. Back when I had all my hair and it was still red.
