What plane to buy for 300m twice weekly commute?

If you only flew your family 3 times a month at 2 hours a leg you are still looking at 150 hours a year not counting vacations. That is a lot of flying. Do that with you family and have a surf air subscribtion for the other 8 times a month and be done. How much flying can you do before you burn yourself out

150 hours a year is nothing. I was flying 500 hours a year while working a day job in the early Cloud Nine days and loved every minute of it.

Id say Piper Six! (260)

Easy to fly, maintain and has the best useful load in the business!

Socata TB-20/21 Trinidad.

All airframes newer than 1985. Excellent owners group, decent cruise, and a 540 that's derated to 250HP and typically exceeds TBO.

I know where there are a few clean ones--I'm looking.

And my .02--- I got my ticket on 8/22/15 and have flown about 180 hrs in my own plane since then. (Just got out of annual and my IA couldn't believe the time I'm putting down at 105 kts)
