try fractional ownership ( llc or s corp ) with 5-10 other
folks....it keeps the costs under control, with a limited number of users or owners....if managed right, its a breeze... imho, flying is a trade off for other activities, as i get older, i ask myself is the enjoyment worth the trade off of other activities... so far, yes...as income decreases in retirement, i plan on flying as long as "the body & eyes" hold out...... cheers & good luck !!

I am fortunate that I have a moderately priced hangar, reasonable (this is relative) fuel for my area, and perform owner assisted annuals. But, I am concerned on keeping the flying going and not feel that I have to let it sit more than I should. I have always been the sole owner since I purchased it over 10 years ago. *Thanks. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI |

I retired a couple of years ago, but after an unusually expensive
annual on my Arrow, just decided to work enough part time to cover my flying cost so the flying wouldn't hit my investment income/social security. |

I started the post and I am coming to the same conclusion. -- Regards, Ross C-172F 180HP KSWI |
