buying a trainer, lease back?
Has anyone bought their own plane for training and sold it after OR done a lease back to the flight school? Did it save you money or end up biting you? I just finished my PPL and am going to take it all the way through into a career so I have lots of rental time ahead of me and am considering this as a way to cut cost. I'd be okay with it getting used by other students and the wear and tear it would incur. I'd look at it purely as a tool to further my training and not as a sentimental item. My flight school is down a plane and actively looking so it could be good timing. However, a cursory search today leads me to the same problem the school is having which is all the PA28s for sale have high times and are asking 100k so it may be a moot point. But regardless, has anyone have an experience to share, good or bad?
