    The law, in its majestic equality, allows rich and poor alike to deduct private jet expenses from their taxes.

      To be fair, you don’t have to be rich to buy a Cessna 150. $35,000 can get you a nice old one

      Issue is with taking advantage of the tax benefits

        The 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.

        Maybe this somehow makes them start manufacturing planes again, remember seeing those homelesss pilot photos when they had a surplus of pilots and not enough planes or ppl taking flights

        Can’t find an image on google was “will fly for food” or something like that.
