I know a guy who used to own a T-37 Tweet. I heard he sold it, but it was one of two flying in the US (though several A-37s are in private hands). The cost to keep it flying was insane. He owned four aircraft and still flew commercial because of the cost.

I'm convinced he could retire but works just to pay for his planes. He inherited a bunch of money (family farm became a Chicago suburb).

My father bought a M-20F. $67k. He probably spends $20k a year keeping it in the air, and it's one of the cheaper ways to go fast.
