See you are thinking right but wrong.<br><br>Your goal should be to get this jet and then contract it out...Fly people around and such. Do not forget about maintenance on the plane. You are going to need someone to do that. You can get some parts refurb and such but...its still expensive.<br>

Someday I will have my own jet. That could be today as some (working
ones!) can be bought for under $30k. However, I could only sit and
look at it and pay hangar fees. Anything that burns 80-112 gallons per
HOUR, at today's price of $5.50 per gallon, just could not afford to
fly except maybe an hour per year. <sigh><br>

Tell the truth. Be honest. Be responsible to and for yourself.
We want our freedoms back. Strike the illegal legislations called: 1) obamacare, 2) "Patriot (HA!) Act", and 3) 'presidential orders' that affect anyone besides gubmnt worker bees.
Hate crime laws? Really? Thought police? Orwell would be proud.
