• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

This could be yours......

Only 41,000 hours!! Let me get my checkbook! :icon_lol:

Actually, the engines are low time and the price is reasonable. I wouldn't mind it if that ended up in my hanger. (If I had a hanger.)
 
$185,000 for the aircraft

$100.00 for a 20 minute ride per passenger

If you did it one passenger at a time thats 12,333 hrs until its paid for (not including fuel, maintenance and etc)

2 = 6,166 hrs

4 = 3,083 hrs

I would just have to get my Private pilots license, Multi engine rating, commercial pilots license and few other things I don't know about. :icon_lol:.

Knowing that there are only 2080 hrs in a work year (40 hrs per week 52 weeks in a year)

Working weekends only 832 hrs / year

That makes it a break even point in 14.82 years with only one customer for each 20 minute period.

Add and subtract for multiple customers and lag time (SWAG) I could have it paid off in 20 to 30 years.

HUMMMM

I wonder if the wife will like living in a plane?
 
Let me see. Seating for 12. At $100 per person for a 20 minute flight. If could squeeze in two flights an hour, thats $2400 per hour. If did flights for 4 hours, that would be 8 flights at $1200 a flight. $9600. 2 hours and 40 minutes of flight time....say $2000 in expenses. Leaving $7600 toward the cost of the plane. 30 days of such flights would bring in $228,000. Paying for the plane and leaving a bit for maintenance and upkeep. After the first 30 days, the $228,000 would be pure profit and would allow lots of money to improve and maintain the bird.

Don't forget to add insurance, tiedown, type rating. I'm looking for a Cessna 150/152, but it needs to be FREE. Anyone have one to donate to the museum??? DC3 much too big! :(
