Hilton wrote: Hi, You mixed em up, Tradewinds Aviation is $90, no clue what nice air is but $80 sounds like what they would reasonably charge. You are correct - I got the $80 and $90 the wrong way round. I got the info from their respective web site: www.tradewindsaviation.com and www.niceair.net. I rent late 70s archers out of tradewinds, which were $90 an hour in early 2004, $93 during the price jumps of 2004, and $97 an hour now. They haven't gone up in several months (when avgas was a tad over $3 a gallon at RHV as opposed to $4 now), I'm expecting a price increase of $5-$10 soon now which will very likely lead to the end of my flying days. I did my Instrument Rating in those Archers; and Private in the 172s (1978 models) and my CSEL in the Cutlass (no longer in the fleet). Which club at RHV are you talking about, squadron 2? Doesn't suprise me. From what I heard from their members, that they haven't raised prices in a while so they're just making one massive price jump, where other clubs like TWA had several small increases. Yeah. I was trying not to be specific, but I guess through process of elimination... At tradewinds, after the 2004 gas increases eased off, I asked em to go back to $90 an hour, take a wild guess whether it worked :-( Well, management has changed there a couple of times recently and rumor has it that it will change again in the new few weeks, so we'll see. I heard the same rumor Hilton |

Gas was costing them $2.50-$2.80 or so. This next batch will cost $4.80.
The following batch will have an additional 75c cost. That sure doesn't sound right. Like I said, we just got a batch of new fuel last weekend, and prices on it only went up by 40 cents a gallon. Sounds like someone is gouging. Michael |
