We are considering a buying an airplane for about 50K and eventually selling it once we are done with training and time building. I realize that we will end up losing money on the aircraft sale in the end but it still might make financial sense with the amount flight time she needs to get into regionals. Or should I just send her to All ATPS for 65k?
