Geweldig. 😍

🥰👍👍👍

Oh the benefits of being a politician.

It’s a very expensive hobby anytime.

Maintenance is the dominant cost. Fuel not so much.

Fuel costs alone probably make it difficult for general aviation pilots to fill up their little Cessna 172, let alone a twin-engine turboprop like the one Kinzinger appeared to be flying. For a typical twin-engine turboprop, you're looking at roughly $3K–$8K to fill the tanks from empty to full.

2/2 "Let me out!" Collapsed on the ground, unconscious. Hubs and I were in the rear seats; husband more experienced but not licensed. Me, in a pinch. One thing I learned flying with him was to be prepared for the unexpected ... he was obsessive.

Shoving it down our peon throats aren't ya??

👌🏼👍🏼✌🏼

Yep that’s my Illinois brown and flat

Was this a King Air?

Appreciate really? The cost to maintain has to be included. Never owned a plane but know some nice boats and their costs.

Must be nice.

Wow!

If I could afford to buy, maintain, and fuel my own aeroplane, I wouldn’t tell a soul much less post it on social media.

Stop flying unless you’re gliding

High performance twin prop no less. Must be nice.

Anti-abortion Adam? No thanks.

If it's a single engine prop like maybe a Cessna 172, they're not overly expensive on Trade-a-Plane. New cars are alot more pricey esp EV's.

Nadia used to fly, too. Where is she, Adam? #KeyTrumpEpsteinWitness NadiaMarcinkova.com

Way to go Republicans.

Come pick me up in grand junction Colorado 😊

Read the room Adam, we're all out here trying to figure out how to pay for groceries. I like you but sheez.

Amazing video. Thanks for sharing. Please be careful. An Illinois friend of mine just died in his Piper a month ago.

Sadly I would be driving alongside on the scorched earth.

Much respect for you, but I think when most Americans can’t afford to drive their cars, this is quite tone deaf. Houses and planes may appreciate, but most people today can’t afford houses let alone planes. Kind of disappointed in this, but acknowledge you have done great good for our country

Showing off your plane. Way to connect with the working class.

Very Nice!

We called it "The hundred-dollar hamburger".

Loved seeing you at SIU. Great conversation.

I’m not sure that showing off your plane is good optics when those restricted to driving are trying to figure out how to afford gas?

Soon it will be stalled in a hangar because AVGAS fuel won't be available. Many regions of the country are already posting "OUT" on their diesel pumps. Gasoline will soon follow.

Look great

Are you good at math? www.flightradar24.com/airport/sle

What UAP’s have you seen during your time as a pilot?

How cool is this! 💕

Nice Adam😀👍

Awesome!

My niece co-owns a plane. But her children REFUSE to fly with her. Even on a commercial flight they'll have screaming tantrums...I wonder if her abusive ex drilled "Your mama's gonna die today" into his little brain. Men just fucking suck.

Raffle off tickets to be your passenger. You'll make enough to buy another plane.

I'm barely scrapping by. Thanks for rubbing my nose in it, rich man.

The glaring difference of course is that the President is paid by taxpayers (as are the security personnel who protect his assets during these outings)and a private citizen is not.

Sounds like rotten eggs! He was a pilot in the air force, he loves flying, kudos to him, he's earned it! Not everybody loves flying. I love driving especially sports cars, I've had 4 over my lifetime and they burn through gas like shit through a goose. I ain't stopping driving them, just drive less!

For fun or to go see family out of state? He has a skill that allows him to do this.

Jealous much? Did you find a way to buy gas so that you can drive? Just because we find a way to pay for stuff that is important to us, doesn't mean stuff ain't too expensive.

🤣

You own airplanes. On a congressional salary. Must be nice!!!

The issue isn’t the plane, although a twin engine jet ain’t cheap to buy, fly, or maintain. People can have nicer things than me. The issue is sharing a video showing 3 people flying in it while the Earth is burning, babies are being blown up, and nobody can afford any safe food. #FreePalestine

QUIT BITCHIN. Adam has already sacrificed so much standing up to tRump. Don't hate.

Obviously you comprehend what I wrote, so I’m unsure why the vitriol towards me admitting said ignorance. Be you, but choose kindness next time. #FreePalestine

Dude! You’re making me jealous!

Interesting that people here complain in droves that Kinzinger displays wealth in dire times, however noone that a rather big plane like this is doubtful as a toy in times of catastrophic climate change. That's again typical American: no people is more self centered and egotistic

Just a little bit tone-deaf there, bud. I think I'm going to mute this account.

I respect you tremendously. However, my heart sank a little when I saw this. Why was it necessary to highlight your privilege at this time?

He took a stand on principle, and got drummed out of his party because he wouldn't become a MAGA, and people are upset because he flies his own plane? Why don't you go out and do as much for this country as he has?

Is gas $4.99 in your neighborhood too Adam?

I'm not thrilled with this. I've actually piloted a small plane, but we lose too many important people in crashes. We cannot afford to lose Adam Kinzinger.

Prop plane? I see you as a jet man.

Wow that’s cool. 🛩

🤣

It’s amazing what a career in “public service” can get you. Meanwhile I graduated top of class from à top university and because I won’t fuck people over or steal, I struggle to make ends meet. What is this place??

Isn't that special? Tone deaf.

Wow, sweet!

Cool!

Damn, nice panel

It's great to see you and your family enjoying life.

Congrats 🎈

It is to get there, yeah. Also a lot of people that own aircraft are fractional owners that's pretty common. 12 years with a congressional salary doesn't hurt either.

Thanks for this Adam. My dad was also a pilot and officer in the Air Force. Flying with him is one of my great memories. My son is learning to fly now!

Wow people!... can't you just be happy for them? He's sharing a happy moment with us, and some of you all just found out how to make it a bad thing? No wonder we have this "administration"! That's the mentality of it! "If I can't have it, no one can!" Deplorable!

My dad in WWII.

Retired aircrew/A&P/AE/IA managed to keep flight happy until covid and couldn't afford to fly even small experimental. But manage to borrow enough to stay current with FAA. Me kids and now grandkids wanted no part of aero. Not considered a good career investment at max hours and minimum pay.

$4.59 for gas at Costco today

I like you a lot, man. This ain't it, brother.

Can I come?

He's a retired Lieutenant Colonel and has written 2 books among other things - hey I'm a struggling senior and a Democrat but attacking Adam doesn't accomplish anything

"Because traffic controllers turned out to be necessary", consider this: the U.S. has 4,560 public-use, non-towered airports. You would have to hire 45K–55K air traffic controllers, spend $25B–50B to construct the towers and equipment, and spend another $15–20 billion per year to operate the system.

Finals for runway two three right.

Finals for Runway zero three right.

Nice!

Beautiful AC. Merlin IV.

Men get older, the toys more expensive.

They do appreciate, but damn they are expensive to own and operate.

Way cool!!!

Living proof Democrats and Republicans can get along. We are just Americans

I like ya, Adam. But I gotta ask when ppl are struggling do ya think flaunting wealth is appropriate? Luck really had nothing to do with owning an aircraft.

Thanks for proving who I’ve suspected you to be, just another arrogant conservative shoving your privilege in our faces. Fly your plane, take your family wherever. Keep it to yourself next time.

Must be nice. (I wouldn’t know.)

I love you, respect you and greatful for all you’ve done for this country Adam, but please don’t take your family in one of those again.

Lucky man

Read the room, dude. Your affluence feels really gross right now

Pretty cool

e planes are the way of the future.

That’s so awesome

I'm tired of rich people.

I am happy for him 💙He is a good person he should have some quality time with his beautiful family 🙏God Bless 🙏🙏🙏

Wildly out of touch monster try’s to engage with the poors.

That's quite the carbon footprint for one small family.

Ty :)

I have been on a 25 year hiatus from flying and have spent 9 months working on the new ridiculous FAA medical obstacle course. Probably another 9 months to go.

I was expecting a 152?

Blessings my friend, blessings. Safety first Adam. ❤️

What kind of plane is it Adam?

Very nice!

Are you still a Republikkkan?

So cool!

It is great you fly & have your own plane. You do this on your own dime & you're not stealing from the government. I'm a Democrat & believe that being successful enough to afford the things you want is as American as apple pie. Dems believe in bringing more opportunities for success for everyone.
