Quote HistoryQuoted: Its pretty neat but if I ever win the lottery I’m buying one of these. They’re more practical https://trilogyaviationgroup.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/w7-7.jpg The old Suburban of the sky. I think you could probably put a suburban in a Pilatus. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have enough hours and experience with Cirrus to never trust pressurizing one in the flight levels. The same experience managing and operating small planes and business jets tells me that if I win a billion dollar lottery I’ll just use net jets. Let them deal with that pain in the ass. LOTS of former airplane owners are doing just that. I work for Netjets’ biggest competitor and we’re getting F100 corporations buying several entire (not a fraction) airplanes with us because if their jet breaks, we send another one. When the company jet breaks, they sit. |

I’m getting nervous that my owner is going to do the same and go fractional. |

The Cirrus Vision is my son's holy grail. I have no doubt that he'll find a way to buy one some day. I just hope it's before I die and get to fly in it.

Quote HistoryQuoted: compared to my airplane it sure as hell is it's all relative what private jet do you own that makes it look slow? I think every other jet out there makes it look slow. Unless you are flying a cub, you could probably pass a SF50 on final. And it's a dog on climb out. |

Nice. If I was going to win the lottery or something, I'd probably still just want an older Piper Comanche 250 with wingtip tanks and spend most of the money on maintenance, upgrades and lot of fuel.

Quote HistoryQuoted: One of these just flew over mine... https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae6bf3 https://fightersweep.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/DSC4115.jpg Hmmm, which plane should a rich Arfcommer buy? The Bone is fast and can blow shit up. On the other hand, the Cirrus can carry more passengers. Decisions.... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You and I have the same lottery aspirations... Years back I had more hours in PC-12 than should be legal. I’m so jaded against the idea of airplane ownership now but if I’m being honest if you can afford $2M/YR PC-12 is about the best bang for the buck. ETA: $2M/YR was a couple decades back. You probably can’t own and fly a PC-12 for $2M/YR today. |

You probably can’t own and fly a PC-12 for $2M/YR today. One of my recent jobs, about 5 years ago, could easily operate an Excel for $2M/year covering our whole operation. $2M to operate a PC12??? No way. |
