Final Approach
Should have my BFR - ok, new change - "Flight Review" done in the next couple of days, and I've been pondering aircraft choices. The club I'm at now has Skyhawks, a Skylane, Cirri (couple SR-20 and a SR-22) and an Arrow.
Here's the POA connection - the Arrow N3509M shows up as previously owned by a POA boarder. Hmmm, now this is weird - a google search last night on 3509M pointed to a POA thread - something like 'airplanes you've owned', but a board search for 3509M results in no hits.

Anyway, the current club/school Skyhawks are $95 wet and the Arrow is $135 wet. Cirri are out of my price range regardless of the rate (which I don't recall now except "too high for me."
I'm calling today (note to self - DO IT) to get on a waiting list of a member/owner club with 3 planes; an Archer, a Bonanza and a Saratoga, which rent for $44, $70 and $70 dry.
So, help me with the cost analysis comparisons? Besides factoring in fuel costs to the dry rate to get a more balanced comparison, what else should I consider?
