This summary draws on signals shown in detail below — price comps, listing age, maintenance and engine status, and key specs. Read each section for full context. Not an appraisal.

Airframe time

Average over the aircraft's life — 3,282 hrs total time across ~67 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

49 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 49 hrs/year over ~67 years — in the normal range for a personal aircraft: regularly exercised without being worked hard.

Cost to own

Rule-of-thumb estimates — insurance ≈ 1% of price, hangar $7,500/yr, annual inspection $2,500/yr, fuel + oil at your selected hrs/yr. Your actual costs will vary.

As a sole owner

$2,008/mo$24,100/yr

$241 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$210,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $9,100 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

OwnershipBuy-inMonthlyAnnual
Full ownership (sole)$210,000$2,008/mo$24,100/yr
1/2 share$105,000$1,504/mo$18,050/yr
1/3 share$70,000$1,336/mo$16,033/yr
1/4 share$52,500$1,252/mo$15,025/yr

Buy-in is the asking price split evenly across partners — what you'd each pay to acquire the aircraft (the real figure is negotiated). Fixed costs (insurance, hangar, inspection) split equally by number of partners; fuel/oil is per-pilot since each partner flies their own hours.
