Part of the reason that I posted those numbers is help folks realize that owning isn't necessarily less expensive than renting.
Generally; if you fly more, your hourly rate will go down.
That's because the fixed costs are being spread out across a larger number of hours.
On any given day, your hourly rate may seem VERY low.
For example, let's say that you fly around some.
When you get back home, you dump in some gas.
Perhaps you pay $30 or $40 out of pocket.
Seems cheap.
The overhead of owning is always there; even if you choose to ignore it.
Guys that don't fly much may pay $100 (or more) per hour.
Seems crazy, eh? (Don't forget that owning has many positives.)
If you fly more, it'll cost more. That's always true.
I love owning. But I also try to publicize our dirty little secrets for the folks thinking about buying.
If you put together a spreadsheet that says [color:"green"]"you'll be flying for cheap"[/color]; you've made a mistake. Sorry.
