What taxable income are you trying to defer with depreciation???

I'm not sure that it's taxable income (which is part of my problem), but
I'm envisioning this asset called a "reserve account" growing over the
years until an overhaul is required.

Only the interest is taxable. Money put in by the owners to cover
expenses (now or future) shouldn't be taxable. If you owned a lunch
truck and needed to write a personal check to make payroll one month
you wouldn't tax that either.
However, depending on your state, you may owe a minimum state income
tax. In California the minimum tax for a corporation or LLC that has
an operation (i.e. airplane) in the state is $800/yr. I believe New
York and a few other states also have this "minimum franchise tax", so
watch out.
