I used to dream of owning one of the old WWII era bombers and flying around the world. Wow ... $3,000. I recently came into possession of my grandparent’s farm records. The earliest years I have records for, they made a couple of thousand per year. I guess a couple of years’ pay for a flight-worthy plane is about right.

He paid $75. The other guy buying them got sick of his bidding and told him, “Son, I’m gonna let you have this one if you will go away.” He only had $75.

Some vets of WWII USAAF made a few bucks buying the big birds, draining the fuel out of the tanks, selling the fuel and then selling the planes for refit or scrap.

Can you imagine the chicks he’d get if he showed up at school in one of those!?! A definite chick magnet!

Sure, the jet is only $113K. But wait till he had to buy the armaments. That’s where they get you.

LOL, just like printers and ink....
