Seriously, I just don't get it. Agreed. 300K buys a nice staggerwing or two Stearman

It's the same market, same guy who buys a Husky. They're not selling useful transportation. They're selling a dream.

Seriously, I just don't get it. I agree, but people spend $700k+ on other new single engine, unpressurized planes.  I can only guess its because for some people its important that its "new"??
