I have an s550 and I've owned a crown vic. I promise you I can get anywhere faster in the crown vic plus there is the hilarity of people diving off the road in front of you into businesses that are obviously closed, lol. Truly is amazing how people get out of your way.

true, thank you.

True I just can't stand that guy. Thankfully he's gone.

a 182 is a strong choice I have owned many of them. Gotta be honest a Van's RV10 is my number one choice right now. I know its outside of my current budget but for the right one I'd do it.

LOL on the name. I will get the marketing materials posted as soon as name is chosen and we have the 501c3 in place. I think once we have the plane in place that getting some volunteers will be cake. I'm an organizer by trade so I got that. I have done extensive research on the IRS filings...

OK so 501c3 paperwork is in progress. Budgeted 100k loan to the org for starting capital. Need some help though. 1. Need help with a catchy name winner gets a free ticket when the raffle starts. 2. Need help with what are "seemingly" good deals on airplanes. For the first auction looking...

best Christmas present ever.

I don't see the Henning post he's blocked...let me guess though. Something about how smart he is with raffles then some ridiculously obvious observation about how I should or shouldn't operate. Henning my birthday is the 23rd do me a solid and never comment on my posts. I have 13,000...

Why do you say that?

Well if I'm being honest it sounds like fun. Plus I think I could do a better job of it.

I looked at two of those...man what a plane.

We are thinking the same way..max number of tix and a guarantee tix number that the raffle will happen. Good ideas.

Fredbob I think the $100 single ticket with 3 for $175 is where a $50k refurbed 177 starts to look really good...something that looks good and has a GPS and autopilot with a low time engine.

Their 990 filing is interesting also...but you are right, makes money.

There are a myriad of good reason for an inexpensive plane. Cancelling a raffle I think would be more lack of marketing than anything else. Fortunately that is what I do.

Not disagreeing with you about the donation. One I need the donation personally so starting with a purchase doesn't scare me. Once I have established the raffle I think getting donations will be easier. Two I read the last 8 years of IRS form 990 of Wings of Hope charity raffle. Trust me it...

exactly my thoughts Hamish, I know you are a recent winner. What about the process would you have changed? My first thought is to find a cool C177 with a low time engine and keep the tickets around $100.

just typing my thoughts I appreciate any input...

hmmm I think getting a donated B200 would be tough. I'm not ruling out purchasing anything. $700k plus lets say another $50k in repairs and lipstick. Then I have to fly it around for a year to fly ins and shows. Although that sound fun I now got $1MM in it. So tickets are what $250? $500...
