buying

So I'm currently working on my PPL. My friend/instructor wants me to buy an airplane for building hours. And quite frankly so do I. It seems like it could save me a bit of money if I am building hours in it. He drives a beater car and owns two airplanes. I also drive a beater car and have no...

I’m getting back into aviation (after 10 years away) and starting to think about what I want to buy. I often hear people say that they spent years trying to buy their airplane. I’m curious to hear how long it took you to find the right plane - how many inspections and how long did it take? For...

Prices seem very high right now for many popular vintage airplanes. When was the last time prices soared like this and how long did it last?

Well I think it's a tough mission anyway. For the sake of conversation, imagine this mission. Flying all over Eastern Canada (Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Newfoundland) all year long. With the occasional trip down south to Florida/Caribbean. 2 - 4 occupants. There's a fair bit of crummy...

I’ve been looking at some airplanes and there are some that are very attractive, with the avionics that I want, and some of them with really nice paint jobs. The caveat; total time! I find some “ok” ones built in 1977 with a bit less than 4,000 hours. But then I see some beautiful ones built...

Hi folks I'm trying to buy my first aircraft and of course thought of the beloved C172, it will fulfill my mission although there are version that will do it better or worse. I have one aircraft that has been offered to me from someone I know, and I would like to incline towards that one but...

This is the third time, my wife and I are in the market for a plane: The first one was a Cessna, then our Mooney and now something fun like a Kitfox or maybe a vintage aircraft. We probably all heard the advice of how to buy an airplane, if one wants to avoid almost certain financial disaster...
