Note to pilots: It is not a good idea to celebrate 4:20 while flying a plane.

Wow that is one heck a nice plane. Pressurized cabin even, just under a million dollars.

That’s OK, there are a LOT of used planes to be picked up on the cheap in the last few years. A friend of mine put in a “silly” bid, ridiculously low, just as a symbol that he was interested. The guy called and sold it to him (this was a 400K plane for less than 150K). Crazy.
