Thanks to all for your input.
I'm pretty anxious to get my own plane.
In fact, if my wife wasn't keeping me grounded (pun intended), I probably
would have bought one already.
Even though we could "probably" afford one on our own, she's making sure I
check out every detail.
Don't tell her, but she's probably right for doing so ;-)

Based on what you have informed me, I can show her some estimated monthly
numbers, and see what happens...

Thanks again,

Adam

I know this has been asked a million times, but I have to ask just one
more
time.
I would love to know your real-world costs of ownership for your fixed
gear
single.
A 172, cherk 180, etc.
I'm trying to figure out how much renting I have to do before it becomes
plausible to own.
Any advice as to insurance, fixed and variable costs, etc.
Thanks

Adam
