Didn't you just buy this plane though.
Yep, bought it in April

I would be really surprised if
the cost of ownership ends up being less than rental.
Actually, I won't be surprised. It won't be 1/2 of the going rental
rate at the end of a year's worth of ownership but I think it will be
less than rental. Current Arrow rental rate at Executive Flyers is
$134/hr wet which must have come down a bit lately as it used to be
somewhere North of $140/hr. My costs have run right at $70/hr. This
includes all monthly fixed costs and all variable per-hour costs. Also
includes reserves for engine and annual inspection.
