Yes, but at 1000 litres per hour, you still need deep pockets!
Crikes that's worse than both engines on the citation I fly

Do you have an iPhone? Get X Plane 10. A stunningly realistic flight simulator, with multiple aircraft to choose from.
I've had a lot of fun whizzing around the Austrian Alps at 700 kts low-level in an F22. It certainly concentrates the mind and sharpens your reflexes. There is also a combat option, which is fairly trivial with an AIM-9 but very challenging using guns. I've learned the hard way, many times, about target fixation at low-level!
I used to do a heck of a lot with flight sim, Flight, Pro Pilot as well as flight unlimited which although old was very immersive.
X plane I never had! Then I had a fast PC with all the controls! Change of address over the last 6-7 years into London flats and I dropped the lot being confined to lap tops.
I am considering a Mac computer rather than Lap Top and X plane will be top of the list
