There is a common perception that flying and aircraft ownership is expensive. I tend to disagree somewhat, I mean yes…. I will admit that if I were to win a large lottery… yes indeed I could have it entirely spent on an airplane, before the cheque hit my bank account. Most prudent people would not do that and really… neither would I. So, let’s talk about flying and owning an airplane (or maybe two).

One of the great things about our club and the type of airplanes we fly is the fact that they are indeed quite affordable. Another thing about owning and flying these aircraft is that they can be utilized year-round. Tell that to the guy that owns a snowmobile or a fishing boat. (Swamp boat s for a few of you out there) If we so desire, we can even taxi up to Tim’s for a fresh brew… winter or summer. Ok, we get a lot of value and use from our airplanes and that’s just one of the points I make.

So, what’s the price of admission? That’s a very good question. It all depends on what you want…we all know faster means costlier but not always. For someone thinking about getting into flying they really need to come on out to our little airstrips and chat with us. We in turn, could take our new friends out for a quick ride and showcase what it is that we do. We know that one could spend until the sky is the limit but that’s not what we are about. For newcomers, I’d recommend looking at various websites and see what’s in the market, and by all means chat with the pilots (us) that are in the know.

You would be surprised at how reasonable flying can be and therefore should consider it if you’re looking for a new pastime. And by the way… I always have a seat available.

So C’mon Down! The Price is Right!
