      People think private pilots are rich because airplanes are expensive. They’re not - they might be upper-middle class (with a mortgage and other debt) but most have to budget their aviation spending. Truly wealthy people don’t fly their own planes, they hire pilots and crew, and probably have no idea what a Jesus nut looks like.

      That said, this is obviously satire/bait.

        I had to check up Jesus nut, and learned that’s what it’s called because it’s the one you pray will hold because if it don’t you crash. Hahaha

      I know the post is a joke but it’s more like “somebody owns a helicopter rental business and they’re bitching about repairs on helicopters they themselves don’t pilot so they themselves aren’t in danger”

        Unfair. I’ve spent my entire life not buying expensive (or even cheap) helicopter parts and I still don’t have a helicopter.

        I do have a 3d printer, though…

        Hm…

        Jarvis! Preheat the print bed.
