>>1941761L-39 wont fit in a T hangar and burns about $700 worth a fuel an hour. also 1000 hour TBO, which costs close to $200kl. so yeah, between all that and insurance its the kind of thing you might get to rent once in life as a bucket list item but not much more than that.
what you can feasibly own as an upper middle class income earner is picrel. TBO is 300 hours on its powerplant, but it costs about 10% of what an L-39 costs to overhaul. fuel consumption is about 1/8th that of an L-39. maintenance costs are many hundreds of percent lower on the sonex vs the L-39.
tl;dr if you are willing to endure the fact that you will not look like you're in a fighter jet to everyone else (but you will still very much feel like you're in one), you can actually own one.
