STEVE WYNN AND HIS JET-

Setting and influencing the dice roll is just part of the picture. To beat the dice you have to know how to bet the dice. Whether you call it a "system," a "strategy," or just a way to play - this is the place to discuss it.

Buying a jet is God's way of telling you you are making too much money. Sort of like a boat, only in this case it is a hole in the sky you throw money in. On the flip side - if I could afford it and had to fly to Macau on a regular basis I'd own a Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor and know how to fly it. Across the Pacific at Mach 2. That'd cut your travel time down.

Flyaway costs of an F-22 Raptor are running a little over $150-million apiece these days...but that's a lot less than the F-35 Lightning II's expected unit cost of ~$240-million. For a relative bargain, you can pick up an F-18 Super Hornet for a flyaway cost of ~$67-million.

As I was suggested earlier, fractional jet-ownership can be had for as low as $150,000 on a half-decent plane...and it's at your beckon call whenever you want it.

Not that operating expenses are a concern, but what's it cost per minute to buzz around
in Super Hornet ?

Hi Bick,

Operating costs per flight-hour vary quite a bit, depending on everything from fuel burn-rate, MTBF (mean-time between failures), parts replacement costs, scheduled depot rebuilds, etc....and whether it takes one or two to operate it.

However, given that, here are the approximate hourly costs for some of the more popular U.S. military craft today:

F-16 Falcon $5,000

F-22 Raptor $19,000-$40,000

F-15 Eagle $17,000-$30,000 (depending on the variant)

EA-18G Growler $7,400 (the carrier-based electronic-warfare variant of the F-18)

EA-6B Prowler $17,000

The operating costs for the F-18 Super Hornet and Strike Hornet are apparently running slightly above that of the F-16 Falcon and Fighting Falcon.

So the F/A-18 would likely cost you somewhere around the $100 per-minute price-point to operate.

Yeah, I've got the Super Hornet coming in between $185 and $400 per minute - depending on how you're using it.

While there's many more Mikoyan's in the after-market than there are of the old Sukhoi's; the Su's are simpler in design with a higher degree of parts commonality (and longer-lived airframes) than the MiG's, and are also far simpler to maintain.

BTW, the USAF bought some used MiG-29's and Su-27's...as well as a few Antonov's and Mil's.

No doubt with a fine selection of pharmaceuticals and an unlicensed outside pharmaceutical salesman as a gopher in the event your supply was getting low.
