Final Approach
Looks like I just went from renting at full FBO rate to having the use of three airplanes at a more reasonable rate in a month.
First was the American Yankee AA-1 that I got back in the air. Owner was running short of cash so, at some point, I capped the cash and took the rest as barter for dry time. I have another AA-1 that I am not even factoring in here as it is not in the air yet. The deal there is help get it back in the air for unlimited dry use.
Next is the Cutlass RG II (C172 RG) that my boss' friend has with the flight school. I get that directly from the owner for $50/ hr dry and fly under the school's insurance along with my non-owner's policy.
Finally, a fellow just cut me in on a Cherokee 140 that he wants to flip. Should have it in the air soon.
All thanks to my A&P so there is another benefit in addition to repairing my grounded Arrow, my original purpose in getting it, and earning some $$.
