Sorry for hijacking, but I have to ask: what has to be done on a not yet
10 year old airplane that cost 200k? Wouldn't it be more wise to buy
into a new (maybe jet/diesel) aircraft like a Diamond? I don't know the
details and you for sure made your homework before spending the 200k.

I don't think he meant it as "We spent 200K improving a 1998 Cessna
182" but "We spent $200K as the purchase price of a 1998 model year
Cessna 182."
