Buying an airplane isn’t expensive. Owning one is.
That $120k Cessna? The price tag is just the entry fee. The real killers: - $500–$1,000/month for hangar rent - Insurance premiums that spike overnight - $30k–$40k engine overhauls you didn’t see coming One broker told me: “If you’re not ready to spend double the sticker, you’re not ready to buy.” 💬 Curious: Who here has seriously considered owning a plane? Be honest — what stopped you: cost, risk, or the unknown?
