With all the flying you’ve done, all the planes you seen, and all the places you’ve been, what would you recommend as a good, inexpensive, first plane? I’d like to get to the point where I fly to Mexico, Canada, Islands, etc, but I’d like to get my wings under me. I’m a few years out from owning a plane, but I’d love to get there ASAP
That’s a really good question and we are definitely going to make a video on this in the future. Until then, it really depends on what you want to do with it. If you want to build time I’d say a Cessna 150 is probably the cheapest way to do it. With a initial cost of around $20k-$25k, fuel burn of around 5.5gph, and yearly cost of around $4k (not including fuel) it is really hard to beat. With that being said, 150’s are SLOW. You can expect about 100 knots cruise in a standard 150. That’s almost bush plane speed. If you want to go on long trips with your first plane, it can be done in a 150, just know that it will take a very long time. With all that being said, if you want a good “cheap” cross country plane, the Mooney M20C is a good bet. With a cruise speed of about 145 knots, it will definitely get you places a lot faster. However, initial cost is around $40k-60k, fuel burn of around 11.5gph, and yearly cost of around $9k (not including fuel).
Wow, thanks for catching that! We didn’t even notice and will definitely change it. Also thanks so much for all the support you have shown the channel!

Congratulations. Suggest you put your merch as an active link. Can’t copy and paste from an iPad. Gonna loose potential traffic to your store.
