No I don't own the aircraft. The cost included the plane $68-$70 per
hour wet. Thanks for the congrats.

Let's see....78.4 hours times $69 per hour equals roughly $5400 plus
probably 30-40 hours of instructor time at $20-$25 per hour ($750)
equals somewhere around $6150 plus misc fees.

Oh! I see....the $4137 figure is what you tell your wife. :-)

Good catch Bob. I obviously overlooked or didn't record something in my
calculations. Even if I use your figure of $5400.00 it is still a
reasonable cost as far as I am concerned. The instructor time is built into
the hourly cost. That is, the $68-$70 per hour includes the instructor,
airplane, and fuel. Sorry for the miscalculation.


Either way, that is a smokin deal. You took almost as many hours as
me to finish. It took me a few weeks over a year and somewhere around
80 hours.

Congrats on your ticket, now go enjoy it!
