Thought you'd like to read this.

I'll tell you what - it's a long way from the 20 grand that I paid for
my twin Beech many years ago. :)

That's pretty cool...

Besides that poor little rich girl.... you are going to see a LOT of
interest in the sport pilot option. There are two manufacturing
facilities within 100 miles of me....

I almost choked when I saw the price of that plane. Way back when I
was still flying, I had 1/3 interest in a twin Beech and eventually
wound up owning it with the other two backing out over time.

Sure wasn't no $360,000 though. :)

Priced a new Baron lately? 1 million bucks, fairly nicely equipped. Ouch.

If I still had the urge to fly, I think I'd take up hang gliding.

Or soaring.

I can't see spending that kind of money on a plane - I wouldn't enjoy
it.

Although, when you think about it, what's a 50 foot Hatteras go for
new $4/500,000?
