How often do you Fly?

I've been a renter and I've been an owner and I always fly more,
usually double, when owning compared to renting... Psychologically as
a renter you are always concious of that Hobbs meter running...
As an owner the only additional cost for an extra half hour is some
gas and a little oil... Owning is lots more expensive than renting,
but I prefer owning....

I figure my cutout point is about 200-250 hours a year, after which owning
is cheaper. Then, it would be damn near impossible to rent the equipment
that we use for our typical mission.

Good point there... The rental fleet here in CT is essentially limited
to PA-28s and 172s with the odd Seneca thrown in. If you need to move
4-5 people and bags and still take full fuel a PA-32 is pretty tough
to beat. There used to be a pair of nice Saratogas available, one FG
and one RG, but those are long gone.
