Sourcery · What a $75 Million Airplane Actually Costs to Own · 20 Jun 2026 podcast

Really?

Yeah.

I got my pilot's license on my 17th birthday.

Which is the legal age to get it.

Actually at this airport right here, Van Nuys Airport.

And I got my permit maybe when I was 16 and a half, but I think I got my driver's license at 17 and a half.

So I was flying airplanes by myself before I was driving a car by myself.

And it is one of the greatest...

feelings of agency that you can have, especially as a 17 year old, to fly an aircraft on your own.

And I think that that maybe is another thing that has led me towards continuous agency in my life and continuously wanting to build and do more things.

We do need more pilots.

What do you think of the cockpit?

What's your favorite button?

You can push this button in if you want.

Just to see what it does.

Yeah, just push it down.

I mean, an airplane like this, there's tens of thousands of individual parts on the plane.

80% of the parts, if they're broken, the plane's down.

You can't fly.

So there is like 20% of them that we get exceptions that we can fly certain amount of flights until it can get fixed.
