Yeah, but you know there are companies where you can buy a piece. Seems Mooney wants to sell the entire plane. The other way is to get a 20% piece of the vehicle, for example, then work around your travel times with that. It's not so much the upfront costs, a lot has to do with the costs of fuel, pilots, airport costs and such..... a lot of recurring costs. The plane itself is not a major factor, it's the maintenance. You could buy a used Jet, for example, and your overhead is nominal on the fixed cost. But Fuel/Pilots/Gates still kill ya. Then there is that faggy lobster dinner you just had to have. General Aviation loves to whack you up for that. Nah, I just don't have the long green for that stuff. It would be kool though. Been in a few small planes, it definitely kicks the daylights outta commercial.
