I'm a poor unemployed dirtbag climber so any of you rich pilots out there that want some company, let me know. I gotta save my money for beer. C'mon, I'll regail you with entertaining stories about my climbing misadventures, like the time I got a sweet handjam and then got bit by a hiding in the crack. (That's a free one, next one'll cost ya). Quote
Anna Posted July 16, 2003 Author Posted July 16, 2003 I am of poor folk myself! It is really expensive to get ratings to fly yes, but I make it happen somehow. I live cheap, I am extremely selfish with my money, and I have no life! I actually have to take a break for a while cuz of money reasons...it just happens. The Cessna that I fly, burns about 8-10 gallons and hour. I plan for a 10 gallon fuel burn as a buffer. I flew 4 hours round trip to Boeing Field.....just a little engine...doesn't cruise very fast...100 knots or so. I work at a kickass place where I can talk to pilots all day and I get a good deal on plane usage. Friends with planes are awesome! The owner of the plane I use now is really good to me and rents it out for a great price. And of course, since the company I work for sells fuel, I get a major discount on fuel. Normally it is about $3.10 a gallon but you can shop around for a good deal or a special that someone like Clay Lacy runs at BFI. I got two overnight tiedown fees waived because I bought fuel and kept my plane there. My pro-rated gas price from work is really good, and I probably can only tell you that much cuz it is ridiculious how little I pay. Very fun indeed! I love taking passengers up and watch the look on there face when we land in that little aircraft! So far I have taken some of my family up and a few friends including Ryland, whom posts here occasionally. Quote
