Hey guys (and gals),
I'm looking at buying an aircraft in the next few months to commute from the Chicago area to the New York area (unfortunately, each place is out in the sticks, and 1 hour from the nearest airline-serviced airport, and 3-4 hours drive from the nearest hub). I do not want to fly the airlines if I don't have to.
With that in mind, I am looking for suggestions for an aircraft. I'm going to give the ideal criteria (I know no single aircraft will have all of these, but the most important features are listed first):
Price: Less than $100K
Cruise: Greater than 150 kts
Fuel Flow: Less than 15 GPH
That was actually a lot shorter than I expected. I have thought about aircraft ranging from the Twin Comanche to the Long-EZ.
Other than that, I'm drawing blanks. Any suggestions?
Yours,
Shy
