If you don’t mind me asking, what’s a rig like that cost? About $4million plus $950K per year to operate it for 400 hours of flight time. Purchasing one is the cheap part!😁 The real money comes later. You know the old saying, if it flies, floats or fucks,, it cheaper to rent it. 👍

Either way it's cool as hell. When I hit the powerball. I'm getting a chopper. I used to want a huey. To expensive to keep up and burns a LOT of fuel. Then I said zi was gonna get an MD/Hughes 500 variant. Now I am thinking a an airbus AS355 or a 555 if they make a civilian model

Ford's second-quarter earnings results come after General Motors (GM) reported better-than-expected earnings and sales early Tuesday amid robust truck sales and record EV sales.

Huh... U.S. EV deliveries were flat in the second quarter compared with the same period in 2023, but still up 11% from the first quarter, according to research firm Cox Automotive. But GM has also struggled more than other automakers to ramp up EV production.
While Wall Street doesn't appear to be responding negatively to GM's announcement, there may be some consequences in the company's market position and environmental impact, whether actual or perceived.
"While GM backtracks on its commitment to delivering more electric vehicles, the company is leaving the market open to foreign companies to supply Americans with affordable EVs," said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Transport Campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity.www.greencarreports.com/news/1143816_gm-ceo-1m-ev-target-market-not-developing

Not very hard to make a new record when sales have never been good. The sales of EVs will continue to grow as more environmental regulations continue. Don't listen to me, I don't care if you're wrong.

Don't listen to me, I don't care if you're wrong. So you are okay with government bureaucrats shoving regulations and mandates down our throats while shoveling billions of dollars to EV manufacturers to keep them afloat?
