The flight school located at the Syracuse, NY, airport is seeing its
best year in the last three years. The late model C172S's are
renting for $95/hr and each of the four aircraft are now being rented
about 8 to 10 hours per day.

Good lord, and that's New York. Our C172S's are $135/hr, and that's
in Mississippi.

Yikes that as bad as the West Valley Flying Club here in the Bay Area.
I don't think there is an equivalently moneyed area in Mississippi
that could support those rates.
