AOPA Twin Comanche

Just wondering what you guys would do with that sweepstakes airplane if Phil
called you up and told you it was yours.

Keep or sell?

I'd get my Multi in it then sell it.

I would keep it and sell my current plane. For a twin, you can't
beat the speed for the fuel you burn. Then throw in all those
nice new toys......hmmmmm.....very nice airplane.

If I could swing the insurance I'd keep her for a while at
least...assuming I could pay the taxes.

There is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing
as simply messing around with airplanes.

Keep it, get my multi rating, use up that $5000 gas credit -- and then sell
it.

It's a cool plane, but I don't need (or want) a twin.

Keep it, sell my 235 (sorry Jay), get a partner, and put that money
toward finishing my Cub and paying for gas!!

What a life that would be.

All these people who are keeping it are prepared to pay the "income tax"
hit from winning the plane at the end of the tax year, right?

Whats the value of the Twin Commanche? And.. 30% of that is??? (just
rough round numbers...)

It is an awesome plane. They did a beautiful job restoring it.

I would keep it, fly the heck out of it, and smile all the time... I
wonder what the cost basis is for the plane for tax purposes?

Sell the RV-6 to pay the taxes on the Twin Commanche, then build an RV-3A so
I can bring out even more of my inner fighter pilot...

The inner fighter pilot in me who *almost* bounced a flight of 6-10 high
wing taildraggers once upon a time. Luckily, my senses prevented this
naughty act, which might have resulted in something bad happening. I later
learned that this was a formation flight for the funeral service of a local
aviator, so bouncing it would have been extremely bad mojo.

Sell it, pay the taxes (about 42% of the value), and fix up the Maule.
