Four private jets. Each under $4 million. And each interesting for a very different reason.

In this episode of Your Friend With Jets, I take a look at four aircraft currently on the market that I believe are particularly well positioned from an acquisition, maintenance and charter perspective.

We look at a Citation X, Learjet 60XR, Falcon 50, and Learjet 45 — from one of the fastest business jets ever built to a three-engine Falcon with true coast-to-coast capability.

Buying the airplane is only part of the equation.

I look at aircraft through the lens of an owner and operator: acquisition price, upcoming maintenance, operating economics, charter potential, crew, management and what the airplane can actually do for its next owner.

That’s what we do at Private FLITE.

If you're considering buying a private jet, already own one, or simply want to understand the economics behind private aircraft ownership, start the conversation.

David has his eye on one special Falcon 900EX EASy, and a budget of $10m. Listen in on how I break down the business plan on this asset for David, and how with one or two tweaks, we get him to a pretty incredible set of outcomes - including an 8-figure swing.

Items Discussed:
✅The cash-flow impact of debt service on newer model aircraft, and how to architect strong cash flows by finding feature-rich, money-making flying machines at low prices.

✅The cost and timeframe of interior refurbishment, and how a world-class, custom interior can be included into aircraft financing

✅ The importance of mission flexibility, and how heavy charter or fractional users can leverage one or more assets in an economically sensible way.

✅ Financing terms and ideas

✅ 100% Bonus Depreciation offsetting passive K-1 income

✅ Up-front costs (including aircraft acquisition) to get started

✅ How David can take some of the savings I just gave him, to get his own Falcon 50 "coach car" completely customized, and reduce a $300k a year domestic charter spend to "break even"
