Operating Costs

[norriscathy]

Thanks for the info guys but still looks like operating costs are all over the place. My CFI is "only" charging $300 per hour for plane and instructor so I'm hopeful my costs will be closer to the $160. $40 per month for a T-hanger is all it cost here in the beautiful foothills of the Arkansas Ozarks.

Ed and Tropical:
Thanks! You offer some very sobering advice; especially for someone getting ready to retire.
Tanks again.

You're welcome! If you should have any specific questions, I would be happy to try to answer them. One other thing I just thought of, I live in Chicago where everything is overpriced. After hearing about your $40/month hanger, I'm moving to Arkansas! ;o) As a comparison, I am based at the Aurora Airport (ARR) which is 35 miles west-southwest of O'Hare. I own my standard T-hanger however the going rate to rent them is about $400/month. They are heated and insulated but a far cry from your $40 bucks!
