With 10,000 kenyans classified as USD millionaires and growing,you expect demand for luxury items to be very strong,planes will be the next status symbol not cars,you can find a plane even for KES 2MN,

Without Prejudice.

I think those that fall off have a lot to do with pilot error. Nothing wrong with the plane.

Owning is small part; running it; even parking it in hangar cost a fortune.

Yep.  The real cost of the plane is elsewhere.  It's not in the fuselage and wings.
