A sampling of quotes from this first webinar.

“Buying (an airplane) is not as hard as dealing with it in the first few years. It expensive enough buying a 40 or 50 year old airplane. Those first few years are even more challenging.”                                                                      -Scott Sherer

“In the last three years of aircraft ownership, a lot of people stop maintaining their aircraft. And that creates a problem. I would always recommend getting a pre-purchase inspection. And you can’t do it with the mechanic who’s already maintaining the airplane. You can’t go to a mechanic who you both know. You need to go to somebody who’s trained in that model of aircraft but has not seen it before.”                                                                                             -Scott Sherer

“Fuel is going to be biggest expense. We ran about 83% of our expense being fuel, and that was through two engine cycles.”                                                                                                                                                                        -Jim Griffin

“Be prepared to spend 25% of the cost of purchasing your plane on maintenance.                                  -Scott Sherer
