You just go out to the surrounding, you know, outskirts of town and land there. It's a lot more relaxed atmosphere for guys, you know, planes like this or guys like me. Yeah. So is it like dodgeball? If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball. Is it the same thing? If you can fly a plane like this, you can fly any plane? I wouldn't say that. All the basics are the same. Let's put it that way.

All the basics are the same. It's the amount of training you've got to do to get into something like flying the big jets. It takes a lot of training. I mean, you've got to put a lot of hours in the seat and dedicate a lot of time to it. Therefore, it probably needs to be your full-time career. Yep. So...

Something like, you know, what we discussed earlier, maybe we went into a bigger plane, a twin or something like that. I would have to do some training to fly it, but not as nearly as extensive as flying a jet or flying a commercial airline jet, you know. How long do you think you'd have to spend on that? Oh, probably another 50 hours would be my guess. 50 to 60 hours, I suppose.

So you'd have to buy it, and then basically have an instructor with you in that plane? Yep, you hire an instructor. They go out and they just show you, and then once they feel that you are worthy or safe to fly that plane, then they'll sign you off. And is that only good for that specific plane, or then you can fly any twin prop? A lot of them are specific...

model or make specific a lot of different planes have different features and how they operate like especially for like in the in the cabin throttles and flaps and all that stuff they want they want you to ride with an instructor that has a lot had a lot of time in that plane so you understand how everything works in it or the characteristics of a lot of them are different weights there's different horsepowers you know so you just gotta you gotta understand you gotta go through all the weight and balance of all the different planes so you understand how to load it you know how to not put too much weight or

Is that 1,000 acres? It's got to be almost a full section there, 640 worth, because there's a huge substation right there too. Right, and you can tell that there's more in the process of being put. Yeah, those are becoming more of a thing up here. I mean, you see that a lot more. I don't really like seeing it.

I had a couple of guys say that they would rent their ground out and they were getting $1,100 an acre rent on that. Yeah, that makes it sound like a 20-year contract, don't they? Yeah, and it goes up every year. That's hard to turn down, especially what we're looking at for corn prices right now. Obviously, it's a good investment, but...
