Most FBOs will gladly arrange to accommodate one-way flights (for a
price).

Oh, ok. That price is probably going to be the price of a ferry pilot
and the hobbs time for the return trip. Sort of like a charter, where
you get to fly one leg.

That's one possibility. However it doesn't conform to the rental car
paradigm as expressed by the author to whom I was responding. In that
case, there would be the additional cost of a second ferry pilot and
aircraft, or airline ticket, per diem, travel time, ...

Absolutely. You can do it for $15,000 or even less.

Right. I don't know of any FBOs who can accomodate that paradigm, though I've heard of attempts to set such a thing up. I haven't looked lately, perhaps a chain like MillionAire or Signature might, if they rented planes.

Mxsmanic,

How much does it cost per hour?


Hey, you know that, you told us. Thousands of dollars, remember?

The actual figure is somewhere between 70 and 200 bucks for a single
engine four-seater.

Mxsmanic,

Just install ANR windows.


So now you're showing your cluelessness in the next field? How would
ANR windows work, genius?

Mxsmanic,

Much less. 10k will buy you something halfway decent. And yes, you can
take-off from the nearest strip without formalities except having the
certificate. Oh, and you could do that in France, too. Maybe you'd pay
15k.

Mxsmanic,

Piloting was available to practically
anyone who wanted to try it.


You need to read a book or too.

You still wouldn't come nowhere near 100k. Don't fall for him. Let him
try and prove it.

You aren't getting it. If the FBO has a 2 hr. per day minimum and you
take the airplane for a week you are expected to put 14 hours flying
time on it. So, for example, if you want to take a week long jaunt you
can fly 4 hours the first day, 0 the second, 6 the third, 0 the fourth,
0the fifth, 2 the sixth and two the seventh. The plane sits like the
rental car.

You pay your 14 hours and you are good.

Depends on where you are and what you rent.

Near major cities, rental tends to be more expensive.

In the SF Bay area here are the web sites of two FBO's at PAO where
you can rent wet (fuel included):
