The "Affordable Aircraft Act" coming soon!




  1. The Affordable Aircraft Act, a new program under development which if enacted will allow every American to own a new approved (and in many cases cost subsidized) airplane. nickname: "Obamaplane".


    The U.S. government is contemplating new legislation called "The Affordable Aircraft Act" which declares that every citizen MUST purchase a new aircraft, by April 2016. These "affordable" aircraft will cost an average of $154,000 - $355,000 each. This does not include taxes, hangar fees, licensing and registration fees, nor ongoing costs of fuel, docking, hangar and storage fees, maintenance or repair costs or pilot training.This law is being drafted, because until now, typically only wealthy and financially responsible people have been able to purchase an aircraft. This new law will ensure that every American can and will now be able to acquire an "affordable" aircraft of their own, because everyone is "entitled" to a new airplane. If you purchase your airplane before the end of 2014, you will receive four "free" life-saving parachutes; not including monthly testing and packing fees.

    In order to make sure everyone purchases an affordable airplane, the costs of owning a plane will increase on average of 250-400% per year. Supply and demand may drive operating prices up too as no new airports or airstrips are being contemplated. This way, middle class and wealthy pilots will pay more for something that other people don't want or can't afford to maintain, and will contribute to the "aircraft acquisition subsidy" fund.

    But to be fair, people who can't afford to maintain their airplane will be regularly fined.
    Children (under the age of 26) can use their parents aircraft to fly to Miami South Beach for R&R and to party until they turn 27; then must purchase their own aircraft.

    If you already have an airplane, you can keep yours (just kidding; no you can't). 
    All substandard aircraft will be crushed and recycled under a companion program "Cash for Crashers".

    If you don't want or don't need an aircraft, you are required to buy one anyhow.

    If you refuse to buy one or can't afford one, you will be regularly fined $8000 monthly until you purchase one, die trying to learn to fly, or face imprisonment.

    Failure to sufficiently use your airplane will also result in fines. People living in the mountains; inner cities or areas with limited or no access to suitable airports or landing/takeoff strips are not exempt. They all must participate if any airport access is possible, including walking to the nearest airstrip or airport.

    Age, air sickness, lack of experience & knowledge or lack of desire are not acceptable excuses for not using your airplane.

    The only legitimate excuse is if you crash flying or while learning to fly.

    A government review board (that doesn't know the difference between a turn and bank indicator and a pitot tube) will decide everything, including when, where, how often and for what purposes you can use your aircraft, along with how many people can ride your aircraft, and determine if one is too old or unhealthy enough to be able to use their aircraft. They will also decide if your airplane has out-lived its usefulness or if you must purchase specific upgrades & accessories, (like a $50000 Cirrus parachute system) or a newer and more expensive airplane.

    Those who can afford multi-engine aircraft or jet propulsion will be required to do so...it's only fair.

    Failure to comply with these rules will result in fines and possible imprisonment.

    Government officials are exempt from this new law.
    If they want an airplane, they and their families can obtain new planes free, at the expense of taxpayers.

    Unions, bankers and mega companies with large political affiliations ($$$) are also exempt.
    Lastly, non governmental private aircraft & pilot organizations such as AOPA and EAA will face new and dreadfully burdensome taxes, penalties and punitive licensing fees.

    If the government can force you to buy health care, they can force you to buy an airplane, or ANYTHING else.
