If you can swing a home equity loan you can deduct the interest on your tax return.

Geo.

Subject to some restrictions.....(i.e. I believe IRS code restricts deducting the interest over a certain loan to value if not used for home improvement or education, but I beleive that number is 100% LTV)

There are several companies out there that do the financing. Most with favorable rates and long terms. I have used Soveriegn bank through a broker twice, however they were bought out.

Talk to your own bank or credit union as they may have an aircraft finance program.

Check Trade-a-Plane for ads as there are several banks (some small Midwest ones) that do AC financing.

But yes, a home equity product is going to get you the best rate, terms, and potential interest deduction in nearly every case.
