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.
