Default RE: Trainer- jet?

Well that's a good place to start, so my suggestion would be, take those couple years to learn to fly, and save your money, in a couple more years I guarantee there will be new product on the market, and probably better stuff for less money than there is now. As time goes by the technology gets less expensive. When the first turbines arrived, they were $5000 for 7 or 8 lbs of thrust, now you can buy 30lbs of thrust almost for $3000. Turbine models are less expensive in many cases than DF models were 10 years ago. In the next 2 or 3 years a lot can change, don't give up on wanting a jet, but be patient, learn to fly, and save your money to be able to get what you WANT, not what you can settle for.
