Reerun knows how to fly the uber rich guys.
I flew a few rich guys, and banged my head against the wall as an instructor for years. I still fly for a company from time to time, but don't instruct any more due to a lack of time and it doesn't pay for shit. |

I have been thinking about buying a Twin Comanche or a 250/260 Comanche. I don't need a lot in the dash, but a wing leveler and altitude hold would be nice.
We have a 3rd kid on the way, so I might have to step up to a larger plane. The 3rd row seating is a joke. |

CFI (certified flight instructor) cost is $60/hr. Don't know what the school/CFI split is, but that is not much in CFI's pocket. |

They are fast for the fuel burn, and with tip tanks you can go a long way. Cirrus 20's and 22's are $$$$$. For that money I can step up to a turbo charged Bonanza (which I have seriously considered) with O2, 6 seats and still have a nice dash, and for the G3 price I can get into a Turbine Bonanza and smoke everyone. I have around 5000 hours, for me I just want to get to where I want to go quickly without crushing the bank account. I also want to be able to resale easily and get my money back. I wouldn't mind a twin to build time for my retirement job. |

Does the cirrus parachute capability factor into your purchase decision? Knowing you would have a safety chute to protect your family a variable? Or is it a marketing gimmick?? |

I haven't flown in about 10yrs.
loved it though. Have about 15-20hrs logged. If I had the money to spare I'd def want to get a private pilot's license. Was gonna go to CMSU for aviation school. Didn't do it, prob one of my biggest regrets in life. |
