Surely that is about the funniest thing I've read all week. Buying a 1 million dollar airplane is not gong to garantie you anything but 1 million + dollars of debt.
I've got some friends in the business. Most will start the new guys off seeding if they can the fly in ointment is obtaining insurance for a new guy. Most are uninsurable and are forced to buy their own airplane and self insure initially.
But you can buy an older recip for far less than million or two as has been posted here.
You can get into an Ag-wagon or a Pawnee for well under a 100K. Also keep in mind that most aerial application fatalities happen within the first 5 years of experience.
Good luck it a tough but not impossible goal.
