I would guess that you could probably buy your own plane + get a pilot's license for a lot less.

    Wow! I used to have a few flight sims for PC that were a lot cheaper!

    I charge much less to launch people from the roof.  I even provide a cape, at no extra charge.  It's so realistic, it's almost like the real thing.  Customers enjoy in-flight entertainment.  Well, they provide entertainment, at least.  
     
    Sadly, this hasn't turned out to be as profitable as I had hoped.

    (Parachute, helmet, over-sized fanny pack, and bandages sold separately.  Wet vac and large plastic garbage bags strongly recommended.)

    If you don't mind me asking UB, what types of launching mechanisms do you provide for your customers?

    Yeah, that's a good point Randy......I don't know if comercial airlines would buy that for their training, but if it's a private buyer.......it' gotta be some rich fool willing to spend £200,000 and upgrade his living room.

    I think that's a "rich single fool", Mesh.  I mean, do you really think he can drop that into his living room without Senior Management redirecting it to the garage?

    I would go as far as betting that Sr. Mgt. would only be with this "rich fool" because he used to be a "rich single fool".

    Very little repeat business, ya?

    Actually, if it came with that "flight crew," the price would be worth it!
