Plane Shopping, October 13, 2019 (S8E5)

Published: Oct. 15, 2019, 3:53 a.m.

Whether it's Trade-A-Plane or Controller.com, many GA pilots spend a fair amount of time window shopping for their dream plane.\xa0 It's fun and results in a smile.\xa0 But then the spreadsheet comes into play as the prospective plane owner starts to rationalize and compare rental costs vs. the cost of ownership.\xa0 Soon, the math starts to make sense and it's time to take next steps.\xa0 Hey, this can happen!

But what are those next steps?\xa0 What questions need to be asked and where are the answers found.\xa0 Will my "significant other" support me?\xa0 How do I broach the subject?\xa0 All of a sudden the simple finance question has turned into a long and unknown journey into the abyss.\xa0 Well, maybe not.\xa0

This week on SimpleFlight Radio, Marc and Brandon sit down with two members of Leading Edge Flying Club (KPWK), who are part of a larger group of members that are asking for some answers on how to go about buying a plane.\xa0 Andy Thome and Edward Forman have similar missions, but different budgets and goals for what they are trying to achieve.\xa0 Tune in to hear the process they've followed to date and the path they've laid out in front of them.\xa0\xa0

We're interested to have you join the discussion with your opinion and any questions you have of the SimpleFlight crew.\xa0 And at the same time, share your thoughts with the rest of the SimpleFlight Facebook and Instagram community\xa0@simpleflightradio
