SubSonex JSX-2.
The BD-5J is practically extinct.

Funny you should also mention the BD-5... Because all I can think in the case of either airplane, is there are a lot of cheaper and less complicated methods of committing suicide.

If your idea of fun is flying what amounts to a rocket strapped to your bum, sure.

Me, I'd rather have a stagger-wing Beechcraft.

Now THAT'S a cool plane.

Yes! I'd be willing to pay for flying lessons if I could afford a Staggerwing.

Get thee behind me, Satan!!!

Besides, that's more than I paid for a 2200 sq ft house on 10 acres of land.

And The Boss would kill me.

And he doesn't have pictures in the ad

I'd have to sell some guns. And cut back on reloading stuff.

And I've got enough hobbies!

(But that's a really cool airplane!)

No problem. Here's a pic.
Sometimes, the Internet really lives up to the hype. That took about 6 seconds. :D


I think I'd have to pass on a V-tailed doctor-killer with a Wile. E. Coyote-approved Acme Jetpack stuck on the back end though.

That's why it's a "bucket list" airplane. I haven't been diagnosed with a fatal disease yet. ;)

Uh huh.

Well you might as well go full Secondhand Lion bat-guano. Lion cubs for sale too.
I'm assuming you already shoot at salesmen from the front porch.
