Here is my question? The price, amazingly enough is quoted at $250,000, of the one ride. Yep, a quarter of a million dollars.
Would you pay that much for this, if you had the money. That much money will by you any number of fine airplanes, very good Bonanzas, Mooneys, etc. even a top of the line T-6 or an L-39 if that is your taste. It will buy a house in some low cost areas, and a down payment on a house in top areas.
Do you think there are enough people with more money than sense to do this, or is it that a lot of people will say they are on board until it really comes time to pay?
