Line Up and Wait
So I have a two part question:
1st) would you rather own an airplane or retire early? Retirement would be at 42.
2nd) Since everyone says, if you have $200K to buy a plane.. don't.. buy a $50K plane and put money towards maintenance.
My question is: What plane costs between $20 -$35K per year to own and operate that can haul 5 people. 2 x adults and 3 children? Twins are fine if they can be in the $$ range. Oh, and the purchase price could be between $50k - $250K. Of course, lower is better! The plane has to go from D.C to San Antonio 6x per year for vacations, would prefer a plane that can do it with 1 stop and several little runs up and down the east coast and out west per year.
What say you????
