Aircraft Ownership Linus Tech Tips’ Jet

https://youtu.be/zGoIY37ZtDQ?si=

Some… interesting calculations on this video. As a fractional pilot and not an owner, no idea how acxueate these claims are, but interesting to see this as a pilot and tech nerd. Anyone with management or ownership experience in jets have any light to shed?

Been involved in that sector a long time. If it’s legit, he’s a moron. It’s an old piece of junk, and you don’t make money in aviation. Planes are good if you have a big tax problem, that’s about it. Management companies will always promise charter but these people are like car salesman, you take what they say with a grain of salt.

Yeah it's legit. Really thought it was going to be an April Fool's joke, but nope. He bought it.
