Then came fractionals. And we had an explosion in that market. Lots of people can't pay $30 million for a Citation 10, but they can pay less than $2 million for a 1/16 share of a Citation 10. The same explosion will happen with VLJ's. At $1-2 million a piece, a 1/16 share of a VLJ could cost under $100,000. $300 an hour operating expenses. There will be another explosion in people who can fly on private jets.
