After the cost of acquiring said 777, you just may be Wink

If you buy a 777 price tag of $180 million + you dont do it without knowing the hundreds of thousands its gonna cost to run, if you cant afford those you aint buying the plane. So again with the $5000 is a drop in the bucket for a private owner Wink

If one had a 777, than presumably one would have the cash to employ a aerial chauffuer and co-chauffeur to help one conduct one's business in the air... Grin

Yeah but comparing the PPL to yacht speed racing is like saying the airplanes I have on my shelf are a museum.

Maybe. But I was just saying that the trans ocean yacht racing hobby is more expensive than flying as a hobby. Tongue

Well if you want to be able to do that, I would also say that collecting Faberge Eggs is more expensive than collecting Lego kits. They just aren't the same thing.

A hobby is a hobby as a collection is a collection no matter how much cost goes into it. Tongue
