Anyone have experience with the ~3wk EMT-B crash courses? That cert seems to carry some weight with potential future employers and I don't want to dick around for 4-6 months at a local comm college.

Well if you are talking a kit go big or go home.
PERFORMANCE: Top speed: 926 mph; Cruise speed: 620 mph; Initial climb rate: 30,000 fpm; Ceiling: 45,000 ft.; Range: 1,840 nm; Takeoff distance, 50 ft.: 600 ft.; Landing distance, 50 ft.: 1,500 ft. BEDE JET CORP. The kit starts at a cool 1/4 million. No engine no avionics, some assemble required. I bet they top out at well over a million when finished. It would be a cool toy to have.

A couple years ago I recall someone looking at an F104 until he found out how many thousand $$ per hour of flight. How about putting money down on an Aerion? 1.6m cruise.

Lancair Evo with a Lycoming?
270kts true at altitude.  Or do the PT6 instead of a piston and go higher and faster for more money.

The Maverick Solo Jet I pictured above does 472kts, only needs 1500 ft runway, carries 5, and only costs $1.25 mil.
It's the cheap bush plane of personal jets.

Then there is the how slow can your go thing...
Met a guy that was developing a STOL bush plane...said you haven't flown until you buzzed along at 25mph and had to pull up to clear a barbed wire fence. His plane had those big balloon tires and he claimed it could take off/land within 75 ft on non-paved surface. And it cruzed at 135mph.

Evening Y'all,
I think I will stick to Porsche for my regular, personal transportation needs.

Evenin Rick,
Yeah, I kinda like the idea if something breaks I'm just stranded as opposed to the "Find a place to put it down" scenario. Even though planes do have a better safety record than cars. And the Maverick does come with a full plane chute.

Take off's are optional landings are mandatory, doesn't inspire me to get a plane. A friend of mine is rebuilding a cloth plane and it is fascinating to watch but I have no desire to do it
