You know, I wouldn't mind donating my time but I'm a renter. I can't afford to
just buy them trips.




You think owners have a less costly situation than renters? That is
truly funny! :-)

On a trip by trip basis we do.

The fixed costs are already sunk, so we get to fly for the cost of
fuel, oil. In my Cherokee that's about $40/hr, substantially less
than the ~$100/hr they want for renting the 172s at the local FBO.
