Not usually. If you were rich, you’d just have your chauffeur drive you to the local airport, because your megabucks business jet would need a much longer runway than you find in these.

Most of these people have several-decades-old Cessnas or Pipers that probably cost around what you’d pay for a second car (bought new).
