get this boy the car keys immediately that face says he's ready

 

For what some people are spending on their trucks,. I'd rather just get a small plane.

 

Time to get daddy's checkbook amirite

 

Get your pilots license

 

Nah lol I’m just surprised theres so many old planes still in service. You don’t see many 69 Camaros still on the road.

 

Tons of old classics are on the road, just not where you're located

Stop with the poor examples

 

69 what now

 

That seems awfully cheap…

 

So are we all goin in on a TW private plane

 

If he had a plane, I think I'd be the last one invited

 

That plane has definitely dropped luggage bags full of cocaine into the Gulf Coast states

 

Dude same had to go to discount tire 3 times because they fucked up the inner tube on my tractor tires

 

A 421 is a rough airplane to have as a "cheap twin"... They have gear reduced engines which are notoriously prone to turbo failure and gearbox failure. Both of which are not cheap or safe. A better bet would be a Seneca or a Baron 55. Maybe a Cessna 310 if you can find a decent one. But overall a good airplane won't be cheap, and a cheap airplane won't be good or cheap. Airplanes are a whole other level of magnitude in terms of parts, labor, maintenance, fuel, etc... Plus it gets scary when you've got nowhere to pull over to and your family is in the back.

That being said, NOTHING compares to being up in the air, at sunset or sunrise, cruising along the coast with some music on and smooth air. It is one of the best feelings. If any of you get the opportunity to get your pilots license, I know many of you likely have it already, please just at least take that discovery flight. It'll change your life.

 

discount does tubes now?

 

Mine is on a perpetual fluid change program. Keeps it clean.

 

Fck too bad it's blue

 

"If it was all white I'd be there right now cash in hand" right?

 

The company where I worked in the 1980s had two company planes. A King Air and a Baron. The King Air was fun to watch the pilots (be all relaxed) as we would fly a route up and down the Mississippi.

Current company had two Dassault Falcon Jets (from Little Rock) one was a 900 and the other was a 6x. Those made short trips to Teterboro.
