I misread a bit. Fuel costs only vs wet lease of a 172 and we're almost even. But then there's maintenance. An R-1340 isn't cheap to maintain, neither is the plane itself.

That said, it flies wonderfully, and the supersonic propeller tips are a joy to hear, both from inside the cockpit and on the ground biggrin

F-106 looks great, but how about a few Hunters, Buccaneers or Lightnings?

Wonder how much they will go for? I remember a year or so ago visiting the Lightning Preservation Group, way back in the late 80's they paid £4000 for their first jet, and then I think £12000 for the second one.

Disappointed Thunder City has closed down, that's my retirement holiday up in smoke.
