How does a NY State Assemblyman afford an almost $200,000 Beechcraft?

Ah. He’s a Democrat and an attorney. So, I’m sure he has the juice to afford such a luxury.

Good question but I think we all know the answer 😏

The plane cost isn't the big deal. It's the operating, maintenance, and hangar costs. When the avionics were forced to three digit numbers after the decimal point I faced a $40K avionics expense. My Northstar Loran had to go because Loran was decommissioned.

The only thing worse than airplanes are boats.

All kinds of questions here. It sounds like the politician was drunk, crashed the plane and then didn’t want to deal with authorities or investigations until after he sobered up. Where are the cops? Where are the accident investigators after 4 hours?
