Interesant ce sa zic,dar gandeste-te cate probleme ar intervenii:trebuie urmate cursuri de pilotaj,ar trebui acord pentru a survola spatiul aerian(asta in cazul in care nu ai vrea sa ai 2 MIG-uri in coada),banuiesc ca intretinerea ar fi scumpa,pe timp de ploaie un sofer/pilot neexperimentat nu stiu cum ar zbura,ar trebui sa se creeze culoare aeriene speciale,nu zboara fiecare pe unde vrea,riscul de accident aviatic ar fi mare...etc.

 

Sunt convins ca nu oricine o sa poata cumpara "masina", in conditiile in care si zboara, referitor la spatiul aerian, nu cred ca este o problema, din moment ce sunt sute/mii de alte avioane particulare de dimensiuni mici, care zboara in acelasi regim. Daca nu, se zboara deasupra autostrazilor)
