demonstrate that most 'hobby' flyers fly piston. John Travolta and Jimmy
Buffet are the only names I know who fly jets as their personal aircraft.
I'm sure there are others, but they're all out of my price range.
We had a few people who would fly into Houston Gulf on occasion who
owned and flew their own jets - usually the single pilot Cessna
Citations.
They were of course very very wealthy.
Privately owned turboprops weren't too uncommon - we had a Jetprop DLX
conversion based there, and we'd occasionally get owner-flown turboprop
twins of various types show up.
