wow. 650AMUs. (and a low wing-cessna)

Just remember, the original Cessna 500 was only $500 AMU's when it was
announced in the mid-60's.

IMHO an airplane isn't much more science than a car. The wheel is
invented, so there are only changes to the basics. I accept higher costs
due to lower production numbers, let's say 4 times higher, but then this
would buy you a real fancy plane.
well equipped car: 50AMUs(?) - 200AMUs for a plane: including leather,
heated seats, climatronic, etc. etc.
But today's planes are not really that fancy, this is also a
show-stopper for young people starting to fly. What they see are clapped
out C150 et-al.
