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 — 4,980 hrs total time across ~88 years. A rule of thumb, not a guarantee.

≈57 hrs/yrTypical

Typical utilization

This airframe has averaged about 57 hrs/year over ~88 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

$1,937/mo$23,240/yr

≈ $232 per flight hour at 100 hrs/yr — flying fewer hours raises this (fixed costs spread over fewer hours)

$124,000 to buy (the asking price)

At 100 hrs/yr, renting at $150/hr would be $8,240 cheaper annually — fly more to see ownership savings.

Ownership	Buy-in	Monthly	Annual
Full ownership (sole)	$124,000	$1,937/mo	$23,240/yr
1/2 share	$62,000	$1,468/mo	$17,620/yr
1/3 share	$41,333	$1,312/mo	$15,747/yr
1/4 share	$31,000	$1,234/mo	$14,810/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.
