For 5000 dollars and a week, you can get a sport plane pilot license with minimum 20 hours flight time. That's fucking awesome. And you can get one of these beaut for around
80,000 brand new. A used one probably set you back around 50K.
These light sport planes carry 2 people and consume 3-5 gallon per hour.
