I'd love to have an Area L-39 Albatross. Probably the closest a layperson could get to a fighter jet aside from those in the 8+ figure range. I wouldn't even contemplate such an expense under $10M.
$400k. I can't imagine how much maintenance on a jet engine would be though.

This guy Dave Riggs was a client of mine.
I flew an L-39 dogfight scenario, and a few other flight with this guy before I figured out who he really was and stopped associating with him outside of work.
Then I learned he was basically an aviation criminal after the fact, and was unsurprised as I'd witnessed live his foolish antics.
Then he killed an innocent passenger along with himself in China.
Dave Riggs was an interesting mix of actual experience combined with charlatanism.
