Okay, so you're an accidental small businessman, who started an air-conditioning company in South Florida that did much better than you ever expected. You save your money and set up a good life for your wife and daughter. Then what do you do?
It's obvious. You buy a helicopter. Of course, that's predicated on knowing how to fly one, but that's why God created the U.S. Army. Or barring that, flight school.
They are a lot of fun.
Here's my cousin helping my wife into her seat.
If you have $120,000 to spare, your house is paid off, and your kids' college education is provided for, I can't think of a better purchase than a used four-seat helicopter. Recommended. My wife approves.
Oh damn. I love helicopters, and have never been in one (I shoulda taken up the offer of that flirty guy from Moffett then-NAS back in 1995.) And I don't have $120K, I do have a mortgage and the girls' college education is TBA.
How much does it cost to park and store that thing?
