I was browsing used plane ads today, looking for low-priced aircraft, and came across an ad for a Soviet L-29 jet trainer:
For only $18k, it seems pretty tempting. Unfortunately there are a few downsides to the aircraft. For starters, it burns about 210 gallons of Jet-A per hour, which runs about $950 at today's prices. And an hour is about all you get, because that's most of the fuel in the plane.
But it looks fun...

There is an easy solution. 2 planes! :)
Because I can't just leave temptation alone, I actually computed how long it would take to burn $18,000 in fuel in this plane. The answer: about 19 flying hours. I'm interested in things that are slightly silly, but there are limits...
