    The parent poster was correct: you can buy a plane for that kind of money. Respectfully, your point about training and maintenance is irrelevant. The truth is the parent poster was right, and the comparison is an eloquent one that furthers the point that the offer from SC’s developer is ludicrous.

    Nobody actually wants to buy a plane or a boat, don’t worry! 😜

      To be fair, I’m uncertain whether you can actually complete that purchase legally without being licensed yourself or a licensed pilot under current contract. 🤓

        You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?

            yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license… did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don’t need a pilot “under current contract” you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.
