So, you’re not accounting for the required training and licensing to operate those, I take it? FYI, even if you “fast track” the training and go straight for the written exam that precedes logged flight hours (sim and real, both), you’re still looking at ~$30k just to be allowed to fly. Then, there’s the routine (& frequent) maintenance, storage, fuel, etc.
Sure, you can buy a cute li’l death trap for <$50k, but it’s a lawn ornament without licensing.
Don’t get me wrong: fuck Star Citizen sideways with an alien chode tumor. Just, don’t point to garage-tier aviation “solutions” as a fair comparison. 🤗
If you can afford to spend 60k on a video game, you can afford to get a license and a plane, I’m pretty sure…

To be fair, I’m uncertain whether you can actually complete that purchase legally without being licensed yourself or a licensed pilot under current contract. 🤓
You can, you just need to hire a pilot if you want to fly in it. How do you think rich people fly around in their jets? Do you really think the pilots own the planes?
Did you even read my comment? 🤦🏽♂️
yes? you can legally purchase a plane without a license… did you read my comment? purchasing != using. You don’t need a pilot “under current contract” you could buy a plane and taxi it around the airport if you want without any licenses.
To be fair…
Inb4 Star Citizen tries to feel more exclusive by instituting spaceship pilot training and licensing that requires logged hours and such…
…you know, so people don’t ruin their “investments”! D:
Don’t forget, you gotta pay for those licenses and classes
