"Jack Allison" wrote in message ... Just when I was thinking of starting my instrument lessons. There is another FBO on the field and I may go with them. The only problem is that they don't rent beyond their students. That and it would cost me another $30/hr. over what I used to pay (plane and instructor). Gee, maybe your old FBO couldn't afford to lose money on every flight and try to make it up on volume.

Yea.. CJ.. the defunct FBO must have been using the "Airline" business
model and selling the product for less than it cost. I'd rather pay more $$ an hour and know that the aircraft is better maintained, looks cleaner, flies better and wont leave you hanging when you need it.

$$ an hour and know that the aircraft is better maintained, looks cleaner, flies better and wont leave you hanging when you need it. I usually rent the two most expensive (and newest) well-equipped 172s on the field - one has maybe 2500 (2001+/- model year with a 'new' engine - $95/hr plus tax) hrs TT, the 'new' one (2003 model year $105/hr plus tax) has about 500 hrsTT. I WANT him to be profitable and keep on having such planes available. Keep me out of those old wrecks.
