In the realm of buying airplanes....is it really worth it?
As a new pilot, I have been tempted to consider purchase. But, for right now, I joined the civil air patrol and I can fly with them for about $35/hour (dry).
Plus, the local AFB has a flight club with planes so spotless, you could eat off the tires. They allow CAP members to fly their planes. Cost ranges from $80/hour (wet) for a warrior to $120/hour (wet) for a twin beechcraft baron.
At these rates, is it really worth owning your own?
PS: please, no comments on CAP, I have heard them all at this point and that's not the point of my question.
