Another great opportunity brought to you by Jet Art Aviation!
Now a Choice of six! This listing is for one aircraft of your choice left remaining from our line, see the last photo.
Any marketing company worth its salt would realise, that trying to sell this number of expensive toys, in what is, a very restricted world market place
would be virtually impossible at even those prices.
cheap to buy and expensive to run or expensive to buy and cheap to run makes no difference today.
The spare cash is not around any more. Even if it was, too many on the market pulls the price down and the individualityof owning one disappears.
Good idea at the time guys, but…….even museums don’t have that sort of cash.

With the exception of the L-39s, most of the ‘cheap’ jets that flooded the market from the ’80s onwards have ended up parked. The Magisters, Venoms, JPs, L-29s, Drakens, Gnats and Saetas that went to the US almost all ended up being donated to museums. I suspect that once the realities of the cost of operation set in, most owners simply walked away from then, hence the fact that there is not much of a market for them any more.

But how many are still flying? I suspect they proved a little expensive for many.
