Once again, from Aviation News Scout, Virg Hemphill, at left, come this short 1:40 minute video clip from an Australian TV Station about the American built personal (Cirrus SF50 “Vision”) Jet arriving down under.  Anyone with just a private pilot’s license can fly this new flying machine.  At almost $2 million dollars, this is not for every private pilot, but it is, comparatively speaking, about the most inexpensive, yet commodious of such jets available for personal use.  It caries the pilot and five passengers in modular seating.

And, the above short (1:35) video about this Vision Jet is by TIME Magazine.

Just so we don’t think this is the only jet sold and/or used for purely personal purposes, let’s take a look at some of the other “private” jets now flying around the world.  Here, below, is a video about the “10 Most Expensive Private Jets in the World”.  The video is 10:37 long:

And, let’s not forget the new home-built “Experimental” personal “Subsonex” JSX-2jet), the leader is mass produced single place single engined self-build home kits.  This video is only 3:40 long.  This new airplane is built by SONEX Aircraft, LLD

This summer, the company came out with a two (2) place version, which self-built kit will cost  about $114,000, however the single place version will come in at well below $100,000.  Their manufacturing facility is in Oshkosh, WI, the home of the world’s largest annual air show.

From what we know, the first personal kit-plane designed personal jet, is still probably the smallest of them all, and was first built and flown back in the early 1970’s, the ship, its kit built by the Bede corporation, was named the BD-5, and it appeared all across the U.S. in many airshows, where it performed numerous crowd-pleasing aerobatics.  Here is their website.

And here. above, is an 11 minute video from the cockpit of a short flight in the BD-5.  The video that follow this above one, will show you the kit used to make it..
