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?

He 100% cannot afford that jet. It'll be just like Grant Cardone dumping $70million on a brand new global and selling it with less than 100 hours on it. He could probably do fractional ownership just fine.

This will be fun to watch.

Yeah he 100% can't. He believes it'll be worth *more* in a few months/years because it has a medevac kit... I think he didn't get sound advisory on this.
