  This is exactly the sort of thinking that let Pepsi bail on a jet fighter contract in the 90s. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_v._Pepsico,_Inc https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_v._Pepsico,_Inc.

    Would have been more probable it were a Navy jet, since we know Pepsi once had a large navy. ;)

  You'd be surprised. There are a lot really decent planes available around $30k. Have some fun on Trade-A-Plane.com, look at single engine piston planes.

    Around 30k represents half of the "average" American's yearly household income.[0] Once you factor in maintenance and storage it's safe to say most Americans couldn't afford even a "cheap" plane.
