Need aircraft dry lease / light jet next week

[cofooter]

Commercial and Howard Johnson would give you $69,500.00 in beer money if you all bunk together....!

 

[wallnutz]

He does.. I think we may just fly commercial. Some of these quotes are coming in around 70k round trip.

How many people are you trying to fly?

 

[whiteworks]

Spirit airlines to Atlanta, that would be epic. I hear you have a choice of spicy or bbq chicken wings on that flight

 

[NIKAL]

Maybe ask robby gordon seriously he used to have two planes. Maybe you could rent one of his

Pretty sure RCR bought RGM’s plane.

People fail to realize how expensive flying private really is.

A 12 year old TBM is over 60k a year just for insurance. It flies about 100 hours a year and that equates to 600 an hour. Throw in life limited components, fuel, maintenance, a hangar at 2000 a month, landing fees, storage fees at your destination airport and all the other stuff and you are at 2000 an hour for an old turbo prop that can go four hours if loaded light, you fly it yourself and your bladder can make it four hours. And that excludes the cost of capital for the 2.5 million that old plane would cost to buy today used.

The costs of flying around in a 24 million dollar depreciating latitude is astronomical and it may not make it west coast to east coast without a stop.

If the government didn’t subsidize flying private with all sorts of tax benefits and a free ATC system that every commercial passenger chips in for on every ticket with fees, flying private would drop substantially.

It makes a 1,200 dollar round trip first class ticket from the west coast to New York seem like peanuts and a great deal.

5-10k an hour, so thats not super surprising. At that point I'd just take the first class and the time hit.

 

[beerrun]

We have a friend that has a king air he said it cost around 1700.00 an hour to fly but that was 6-7 years ago

I tell my wife my old beat up 1984 Hughes 500 is only about a thousand an hour to fly. Let’s hope she doesn’t read this.

That puts things into perspective.

My buddy had a twin engine turbo prop. He had a private paved airstrip on his property in Belton, Mo.
I never got to fly with him but he told me it was considerably more expensive than most people thought.
This thread certainly proved that to me.


I thought RD could get it done for around 30-35K

I still look to the sky when I see a helicopter and yell "TC". People think I'm nuts and have no idea what I'm saying.

I couldn't afford a plane, but it could also be a damn nice dragstrip for BBQ & Grudge Racing on a Saturday afternoon! Put some stand-up's in the pond and it's a party!

I have done many high speed blasts down that strip.
That is a twenty acre pond with a 10,000 square foot house overlooking it all built to commercial specs.
That is his shop and an airplane hanger on the north side of the runway.

You think a big twin offshore boat costs money to operate? Lay down that cheap $3M, and it'll flay the skin right off your ass real quick.

I want to know what is in the bunkers in the compound beside your buddies property? Looks like a military storage site.

 

[yz450mm]

I think I know a guy that can help you out, but I don't have his number handy. I've also heard that he gives steep discounts to RDP members, especially if your name is Dave.

I see a pattern hear if you want to have fun on the water it takes a jet boat
If you want to have fun in the air it takes a jet plane

I agree with everything but the "free" ATC... Last I checked GA still pays excise tax on fuel which is what funds the FAA and ATC.

Correct, that is a ”drop zone”.
Very interesting story about all that. I’ll find the links some time and make a thread about it all.
Interesting, sad, and infuriating.

I was guessing missile silo, or entrance to the underground tunnel complex that links all the Alien bunkers to Area 31

 

[LuauLounge]

Chump change.
Doesn’t someone have DT’s number?

 

[RiverDave]

Did you really think it would be cheaper than that?

I figured 45’ish-55?

Ahhh
I see you’ve read my other book…
“How to be an internet asshole for dummies”

Emphasis on these chapters?

“Taking the micro out of micro-aggressions”
“Piling on…the safe way to limit your own exposure while still being an asshole”
“Mob think…it’s all the latest rage!”
“Passive/ aggressive…finding the fulcrum”

Of course one might consider it as a compliment in recognition and acknowledgement of your vast knowledge of Groom Lake and Bob Lazar's works.
OR
Maybe you're right and your initial assumption is also correct, in fact, both could be.

You’re way off on your insurance guesstimate. More like $25k a year for a 4 year old 930 with $10mm liability and $4mm hull.

Your premium will be 1/3 that when you get a couple years experience. What do you pay for your 500 out of curiosity. We both like TBM’s and 500’s. Or 530FF in my case.

 

[Sleek-Jet]

I'd happily spend the day in the TBM getting there, a day seeing the sites and a day getting back.

Better yet, make it a week and stop in LOTO to check something out on the outbound leg. Then maybe someplace in Texas on the way back, maybe scouting new RDP headquarters locations and then home.

The TBM is perfect for those types of trips. But I'm guessing Dave doesn't want to be out of pocket that long.

I'm not sure a few more years will matter after a couple decades experience. Take a look at your seat limits.

I've had a couple F models. Currently building up an E model that will come in under 1500 pounds empty.

I mean, even Steveo1kinevo is flying a 930 now... Surprised that 850 is worth anything.

Amazingly they have gone up in price. And if you have an 850 with a pilot door they will really pay up.

And once you get a 6 or more in front of your age the insurance people run away faster than the ladies at a bar...........
