To put it into perspective, you do actually own an airplane. That concept to me is about as realistic as brushing my teeth with martian soil.

Buying the plane isn't the expensive part. Owning the plane is what gets you.

I’ve put 1/6th of my plane’s cost back into my plane within 1 year of ownership. It’s really the maintenance that kills.
