Definately an interesting aircraft, I've flown in one once and it's just easiest to describe it as different.
Yeah, it's a fun plane. It burns 74 GPH on climb out and 45 - 50 GPH during cruise. I typically run between $250 and $300 per hour to run. Remember this is a pay-for-fuel-only offer. I have to make these flights regardless, so I may as well help someone else out and we can save each other some of the expense.
