[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1841051, member: 6291"] The whole plane, jet, chopper deal is crazy. They rent out a lot of them too when they are not using them to offset the cost. I was told a small jet is 15K minimum to fire up. You say you would never spend the money but I can definitely see why people do it. A lot of the guys I deal with fly in down south. It's a 45 min flight or pushing a 4-5hr drive. That's a big difference. I was down south, my boss said we are leaving Houston, I picked them up rounghly and hour later, we looked at a few things and took his wife back to the little airport, then went back crusing around the ranch. She text she had made it to what ever state she went to while we were still cruising around. You can cover a lot of ground in a hurry. I know two brother that keep 4 full time pilots with the big 4 seat choppers on the payroll 365 days a year. Their main job is doing wildlife counts, specifically birds. 🤑 They have different pilots that actually fly them. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20210906_170706.jpg"]40635[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
