I may be in the minority but if I was a billionaire the only type of aircraft I’d ever want is a single engine Piper Cub that I could cruise around in on a nice day.My Dad,a child of the Depression,taught me many valuable lessons...one of the most important...one of the most valuable...of which is “live below your means”.He did...and I do.

but if I was a billionaire.....

Were I a billionaire, I'd definitely use private jets (I used to fly commercial 150,000 miles a year and hate airports, commercial flying with a passion after 25 years of that)

But I'd lease rather than buy if the numbers worked even close in that favor.

So if 65 million isn’t below the means of a billionaire?

The J-3 Cub was the first airplane that I flew. After 7 years in the Air Force and 33 years of Airline flying and owning and flying an Aztec for 10 years, I agree with you.

Just a single engine light plane to fly around the flag pole!
