Hmm. I guess I'm also used to 1200 hrs/2500 cycles a year.go look online at what people are saying they pay per hour/ per mx inspection....those numbers are a bit higher than the eclipse.
25 years is only $7,200
where
10 years is 14,900
so an extra 7k per month, one year alone is 84k that this guy would make turn into more than the interest he's paying on the 25 year nut.
Plenty of banks will give a 25 year loan, it's all about relationships. You or I couldn't get it, but someone with enough clout and business with an institution could do it.I get the value of the equation. But he must not be barrowing the money from the normal banking system, i.e. a bank.
did you have many issues (non-G1000) with it?I flew a 501 3-4 years ago and I hated it. I found the cockpit cramped and the G-1000 inadequate (functionally) for a jet (perhaps Garmin fixed those problems in a later software update). The trash bag lav was another big issue for the folks in the back. The support was actually quite good irrespective of the broken promises particularly related to the G-1000.
