Its cheaper than a Cirrus, about 1/4 of the price.

Problem is that you burn through the cost of the airplane in fuel after 10 hours.

Which isn't that bad, considering the FAA won't let you go supersonic over about 95% of the continental US and the southern 1/3 of Canada...

Maybe if we all pooled our resources.........We could have enough money to taxi it around the airport.

Hey maybe we could sell the idea to Skuzz, that to cover some of the running costs for the new Owner. We could Advertise Aces High 2 on the aircraft. You know, ultra fast Jet and Pilot support multiplayer flight sim.

You know, put it on the logo. Just a thought.

I prefer the Viggen. But wasn't the Draken in development started in 49? It was a concept way ahead of it's time.
