Default Airplane prices are ridiculous

Mark wrote:
Relatively speaking the price of an airplane today
is much higher than they were in the 1970's as
compared to the value of a dollar and average wages
back then. And really, if you look at the price of
complex automobiles with all the bells and whistles
there really is no justification for planes to be priced
so high. There just isn't that much more technology
or material.

For me personally after looking at the economy, I'd
rather keep that much money in a safe place right
now drawing a humble rate of interest than to spend
it on a plane worth 35K that costs 120K.

When airplanes become mass produced in millions per year by robots,
the price won't be much more than cars.

Of course, airplanes are never going to be mass produced in millions per
year by robots.

In term of cost, the best time to buy stuff is when the economy is down
and people are dealing.
