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! Bush On Thu, 13 May 2004 13:47:47 -0500, Journeyman wrote: ... for a "business jet"???

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 HECTOP PP-ASEL-IA http://www.maxho.com maxho_at_maxho.com |

Ah, but a MiG would be certified Experimental/Exhibition. You'd need a letter of authorization for every flight. 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 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. Morris p.s. QOTW candidate: "...average pilot won't even have time to get scared"? |

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 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.
