Seanreit,
you must think that I just fell off a turnup wagon, or something like that. So what you're telling me is that you can go into your local bank and tell them you would like a loan for $19,000 to buy the F4 Black Bunny scheme that is listed on RCU classifieds.I'm sure you have perfect credit, so the person looks to give you the loan, and they go to what "Blue Book" to get the resale price for that plane. Oh by the way, I'm not jealous, I have a few jets, but nothing as much as $15,000 dollars. My planes don't cost much more than 4-5 thousand. But just to let you know I did spend in the last 2 years somewhere around $20,000 to get my Citation Bravo (CE550) type rating at Simuflight, in which helped me get employed flying air ambulance for Childerns Hospital here in Dallas, and also I work for American Airlines as a AMT (18 years), I been blessed with 2 jobs, so the economy is NOT affecting me at this moment.
