would welcome thoughts on viability given the following conditions.

The idea is to purchase and self-operate an aircraft in some capacity that yields at least a small gross profit. Not at all interested in part 121 ops, other options (potentially) open.

1.) Aircraft purchased outright - no financing
2.) Max purchase price $1.25 M
3.) Aircraft purchase is capitalized, assuming 3.5% annual depreciation expense; $44K on $1.25M
4.) Pilot (flight hours only) time valued at $50 per hour.

Thank you for thoughtful consideration.
 
Sounds like fun. What could possibly go wrong?
 
Nothing like a business idea that yields at least a "small gross profit". Try selling that to investors.

What are you buying for 1.25M? A pilatus/malibu/etc?
Is that 50/hr what you are charging pax or paying your pilot?
