Do you have a name for the plane?

I have to see what half a meg looks like from the outside.

@LukeAlmighty Oh, I guess I underestimated it. You can get used ones for twice that. Youch.

Beechcraft bonanza. Been in production since….like, 1956? There’s nothing new in planes, it’s all old designs since it’s too expensive to make something new to carry people. The only fresh kit comes in 2-seater sports planes because nobody can afford a 6-seater like they could in the 50’s. They’re nice enough, though you have mental problems if you buy them. Far better served just buying one a few decades old that’s had the new goodies installed up front and save a lot of money.

Then again, the new plane deduction is pretty big.

@WashedOutGundamPilot @LukeAlmighty the fact that they've been in production for that long goes to show just how much use they still have even now, most beechcraft planes are either an entire model series with incremental changes to adapt w/ changing air safety regulation, or just an evolution of a previous design (i.e. the King Air originally being a modified Queen Air)
@ferrarilegends @WashedOutGundamPilot @LukeAlmighty >there was a time in america where any old retard could build a plane with whatever metal and clothe they had laying around
>now you gotta pay a million bucks for a production plane that is only possible because some kid in kentucky watched his dad build one in the 40s
@Boomerman @LukeAlmighty @WashedOutGundamPilot @ferrarilegends kit aircraft still exist but nobody is interested in general aviation anymore anyhow. Especially with insane costs that I keep hearing people complain about or the reputation of it being less safe than even taking the highway.

Kobe Bryant and numerous other rich people and athletes wouldn't be dead if they took a car somewhere like a normal person.

What a lame statement. Immagine being wealthy as fuck, and deny yourself an experience, that humans could only dream about for thousands of years.
