Save money; rent.


Vaughn

Ya, I heard the old saw the other day:

If it flies, floats, or f(ornicates) its cheaper to rent.

Normally, I laugh and agree, but this time I couldn't think that there was
something wrong with that advice. Then it came to me. In all three cases,
what the guy who rented it last did to it may kill you!

Of course, that is also true (albeit to a lesser extent) when you buy any
used aircraft. Even a good prebuy can't catch everything that has been done to
the plane over the last several decades. Also, nasty things have been known to
happen to parked, unwatched, airplanes; though a good preflight will catch most
of them.


Is it worth the savings?

So far
