If you were making $50K per year in the early to mid 60's, you certainly could have bought and maintained a pretty nice airplane!
I tried to make some money last week but the copier got jammed.
Considering he said individual income, I didn't expect anyone to click the 7 figure+. I need to adjust my thinking.
So far over 50% are 6 figure earners.. Interesting numbers. As stated before, almost double the national / median average.
I'm not terribly surprised. Don'tcha think the distribution would be similar for other high-cost hobbies? like, RV Owners, Boat Owners, etc?
I bet something like "Lexus Owners" would be a similar curve too.
Maybe I'm just jaded by the company I keep
I think RV and Boats are lot more accessible than airplanes..
I suppose... but I've seen some seriously Nimitz-class RVs heading out to the dunes... I suspect some of these marble and US-Flag encrusted battlewagons cost multiples of my home value. I'm left wondering if I could trade one of them for a king air in this market.
Ditto with most car guys! 1998-2006 was a very good time to be in the car business!! 2008-2010, not so much.
