That said - here's an option Jet Provost
Yeah and you could use the jet provost to visit the house in the Bahamas your insurance agent bought with that bit fat cheque you wrote him for coverage. Not sure how the credit card swipe would work during air to air refuelling though.

We all started out trying to marry the very best attributes of different machines to get our"dream" plane, when we get right down to it the reality is price, insurance, flying skills, operating costs, utility and mission dictate that 95% of us (non lottery winners) end up with a 100 knot tops, under 200hp, lycoming or rotax in a 2 or 4 seat LSA or spamcam and that fits the bill just nicely. For the kind of money you are looking to spend the real decisions you will have to make is can I score a deal on a nice used plane that has the icing on the cake features such as CSP or sh&t hot avionics or even a low/zero time engine.

Good luck and remember there is a bunch of fun and knowledge to be had during the search for the aircraft.
