  • Back in like 2010 one of my friends bought a Cessna for $50k pretty much right after graduating high school. I wonder if prices have really gone up that much, or if he got a sweet deal back then.

    Granted his dad was also a pilot and they shared a grass strip with some neighbors way out in the country, and had their own hangar. So besides the plane, there wasn’t really any additional cost for him.

    But he did buy it himself. Dude was a hustler, buying, fixing, and flipping go karts, boats, motorcycles, cars, etc since he was like 13. So makes sense planes were next on that list.



  • That much room for cars on a little island is insane. Seems like the ideal situation for 2 wheel locomotion, with maybe just a few microcars for people/businesses/services that really need them.

    Would also help them with energy independence. It doesn’t take much solar to charge e-bikes or e-motos. Currently they’re nearly 100% fossil fuels. And the island is only 20 miles long at most, range isn’t massively important.
