My life insurance does not allow for GA flying... I was thinking of getting a policy from a company that specializes in pilot's life insurance. Do any of you have this? Is it very expensive in comparison? Approximately how much? Does it depend on the the number of hours you have and...

You made a lot of good points and hit on a lot of things to think about. There's a class delta airport 10 miles away that would probably get all the good commercial accounts. This one has more country charm and is why I thought it would do better for the weekend crowd. I found out that...

Yes, agreed. I sent the agent an inquiry yesterday and was told they would send me some info on Monday. Until then I figured I'd see if anyone on here had any sort experience at this and what it would take. What are some of the problems. Also, wondering what sort of regulations the FAA...

I figure the hangar rents and tie-downs alone would generate 12-15k per month. There are two independent repair facilities on site that lease their space. Haven't clue what they might pay. Figure a few thousand per month. Perhaps this could cover the loan. Then I am wondering if there...

Let me in on the joke. I wasn't really interested in insults. There's a small airport for sale for approx 1.5 million. Sounded reasonable with the number of filled hangars, ties downs, and service center. Obviously there are a lot big expenses but also ways to earn income. I am...

There is a lot of info, links, tips, books, stories, from people who have done it a lot at this site: Earthrounders

Wow, he's got some skills. Very cool.

Twice the fuel costs... Thanks. That is simple enough math for me. Next question is, how much is a typical engine overhaul? Does anyone know what an approximate cost to overhaul a 4 cylinder Lycoming O-320 150 hp engine compared to the Continental O-300D 145 hp six cylinder? I hear...

I know this varies quite a bit and some repairs can cost quite a bit. However, I was trying to get a feeling how much, on average, various aircraft might cost per year. How much of a difference between a C172 and a C182 of equal years/hours. Lycoming vs. Continental? Mooney M20C vs...
