Your dad passing is a VERY valid "excuse" for not finishing flight school. Don't be so hard on yourself, everyone would struggle man. We all understand that and we hope to see you in the air soon my friend. I think a helicopter would be an awesome party trick with all the friends and would help you personally travel more places if you really wanted too.

James, for two-seater helicopters, the Robinson R44 Raven II and Hughes 369 are solid options, typically costing between $350,000 and $700,000 for used models. For four-seaters, the Robinson R22 and Bell Model 47 are good choices, with prices ranging from $185,000 to $300,000. While the R22 is a reliable helicopter, the Bell Model 47 could make a statement, as it’s the same model featured as the Batcopter in the 1966 Batman TV show and movie. I'd like to consult a financial advisor to assess the best investment value and potential return on these options.

[@ElvisSirinBo]

One lesson I've learnt from billionaires is to always put your money to work, and diversifying your investments. I'm planning to invest about $200k of my savings in stocks this year, and I hope I make profits.

[@Joyce-is7kq]

Maintenance costs could be substantial, which might outweigh the benefits of owning a helicopter at this time. It might be wise to consult a financial advisor to evaluate whether investing in a helicopter aligns with your current financial goals and to assess the long-term financial impact of maintenance expenses.

[@SbcCompany-h1w]

No worries, we all start somewhere! 📈 First, grab a comfy chair and some popcorn 🍿, and dive into some beginner-friendly finance videos. Start with basics like "investing for dummies" and "how to trade stocks 101." When you're ready for more, also consider financial advisor like "MARGARET ELLEN WHITLOCK"-I came across her in a CNBC interview, she's like the Yoda of finance! May the gains be with you! 🚀💰

Thank you for finally sharing the story behind flight training. I also had to drive an hour to and from my flight training. It was draining to do every day. Can’t imagine trying to do the mental gymnastics of flight training while going through the loss of your father. Totally understandable to put it on the back burner. I’m a CFII ATP rated private jet pilot. If I’m ever in Utah or you’re ever in Vegas when I’m there I’d be happy to chat aviation and show you around the jet anytime.

Listen, you were one of the leading motivators that got me into aviation, I’m probably at the stage at where you were when you quit, I have almost all my hours(1.5 of foggle and 1 hour of solo left) you got to get your license man. You got me into it, I would love to see you get yours. Thank you.

[@ferrariguy820]

James, some good helicopters that are four seaters are the Robinson R44 Raven ii, and the Hughes 369. Those can range from $350,000-$700,000 used. A couple good two seaters are the Robinson R22, and the Bell model 47. They can range from possibly $185,000-$300,000. The R22 is a really good helicopter, but if you get the Bell model 47, you will turn some heads. That is because, it is the batcopter from the 1966 Batman TV show and movie.
