>>1039864>The difference is buying a 25k plane now and putting 200k worth of repairs into it, or buying a 225k plane now with good inspections and equipment.Almost right.
The way things go down in the real world is more like;
>buy 225k plane now>fly until the engine legally needs an overhaul>sell plane for 205k>buy new 225k planeThis is the main/only reason that Cessna is still in business and that certified aircraft are a thing at all.
