About this aircraft

$95,000 · AGE FORCES SALE · This airplane is a dream of mine but it can belong to you. I have outlived my dream. It is 9/10 inside and out. Always hungered. Never been near salty air. Paint stripped, treated, repainted in 2000. It looks like new paint. Fresh annual 9/2/26. 3919 TTAF, 1965 SMOH, compressions 76,79,78,78/80. Seat tracks recently replaced. Fully articulated pilot seat. Oil pan heater. Oil changed every 25 hours or less. Cam Guard added each oil change. Tail beacon ADSB out. I use Stratus and ForeFlight for ADSB in and CO detector. Everything works. Owner/pilot flown since 1993, no rental, no trainer.

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

$1,913/mo$22,950/yr

≈ $230 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$95,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $7,950 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$95,000	$1,913/mo	$22,950/yr
1/2 share	$47,500	$1,456/mo	$17,475/yr
1/3 share	$31,667	$1,304/mo	$15,650/yr
1/4 share	$23,750	$1,228/mo	$14,738/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.
