I have heard people complain about the cost to go on one of these rides. $450 is a once in a lifetime opportunity to ride in one of these beautiful airplanes and in a few short years we may not be able to go for rides due to insurance. The fuel and oil consumption alone is about $3000 per hour in one of these planes and I think there are 7 or 8 paying passengers so it barely covers the fuel and oil costs. I am guilty of passing up on a ride myself but will be doing it the next opportunity that presents itself.
