UConn,

You can still buy an Apache for 35-50K. If four of you go in on it that would bring the price down. The Apache can get an auto gas STC if you stick with 160 HP engines. Don't get insurance. You probably can't get it anyway with low time. Another option is to buy the time from Alpine Air or from of the other time selling companies. I am sure that with the contacts that you are making at the gas pump that before you know it locals will be offering to take you along or asking if you wouldn't mind being a co-pilot on the citation since the regular guy is sick, opportunities like that will come along.
