That is the website I was looking at earlier with the $50 Cessna. You are totally right... it doesnt seem logical unless they have some great connection to lower the cost of fuel. It also says that their cheif pilot is a licensed A and P mechanic, so I am sure he does save a bit on maintainence. Either way, I must be missing something unless this is just old information! Thanks for the responses !
Or the web designers are smart enough to add that catch all disclaimer
Due to the recent volatility of fuel costs the above prices are subject to change without notice. The above prices include the applicable sales tax.
