Re: For Student Pilots

While I agree that nothing beats having your own plane waiting for you, I think you missed some expenses. First off, insurance. If you are a student pilot it will be in the $1000+ range. I suppose if you plan on selling the plane before a year is up you might be able to avoid an annual - not cheap. And you are assuming that no problems or squawks appear during the time you own it. I actually recommend buying a C150 to my friends contemplating getting a license, but to me the sell is the convenience factor, not money. If you CAN save, then great!
