: It's true that aviation costs have increased, but the price of everything has increased as the value of money changes over time (always less value per unit) Aviation has never been "cheap." $5.00 2008 dollars equals 81 cents in 1967 dollars. ( http://www.westegg.com/inflation/) So $25/ hour rental for an airplane in 1975 should be $104 in today's dollars. Which is about right. When my father flew in the late 60s and early 70s, he paid $25/ hour (wet) for a Cherokee 140 as a member of a club ($25/month dues). Then he was paying over twice what he would have at an FBO. In 1069 a Cessna 150 was 8-10 an hour and a cherokee was 12-15 Bertie |

But, this was in Jersey (Caldwell) where everything is always far more expensive for the dubious privilege of experiencing it in New Jersey.

Everybody hates New Jersey -- but somebody has to live there. This was also in New Jersey... A cherokee wouldn't have hit 25 an hour until the late seventies at least. Bertie Hmm.. Probably the case -- I don't think I paid attention to anything more than $10 until '73 or so... I'll amend and say when he told me how much it cost I remember $25/ hour. that was 74ish..? |
