If you really wanted to buy a General Aviation aircraft ( less than $500,000) to fly 6 people, what would you look at? and Why?
Just annuals on it are over $25,000. Total overhauls,reman engines once the Total hours are up are over $75,000. That's on a $150,000 aircraft.

If you are paying 25,000.00 a year every year for an annual you are getting ripped off. The shop rate where I work is 100.00 per hour and we work on mostly turbine helicopters but do maintain a couple of amphibian Cessna's. I know getting parts from textron (Cessna owner) is insane but I'd like to see a copy of your last invoice because you are getting hosed.
