Is this a good price for a jump plane?

I think a King Air would be a LOT cheaper to run. Those warbirds usually require something like 50 maintenance man hours per flight hour. Probably not quite so much for a B-25 (as opposed to a B-17), but still. But it sure would be a cool jump plane!

dave, we put on an airshow every November here in Columbia SC, that is strictly vintage warbirds, I was talking with the pilot of a -25 and he told me that plane costs approx $2000 an hour to run, idling on the ground. That is why when you see all these old birds, they are covered nose to tail in sponser names
