Comment on YSK that americans can now deduce private jet expenses from their taxes
LillyPip@lemmy.ca 1 week agoThe cost of the plane is trivial compared to upkeep, hangar rental, fuel, and myriad other expenses.
Sure, you can buy a plane for cheap, if you plan to keep it at your house somehow and never intend to use it.

That’s true for many planes, but not a Cessna 150. Hangars are generally very cheap, if you can get one. Depends on the area, but couple hundred dollars per month. Fuel mileage is comparable to most SUVs and trucks. Insurance is cheaper than car insurance, although maintenance is a bit higher
I don’t own a car, but I do own a plane. It has been cheaper for me than the average American pays each year for their cars
