Aviation doesn't have to be prohibitively expensive, and in this video we cover 7 (actually 8) different airplanes that you can own and fly for about $40/day. At the end we walk through the math and assumptions behind how that's possible. Aviation is not a cheap hobby, but it doesn't have to automatically be too expensive to pursue. In this video we hope to help provide some information that might make aviation more accessible. The world needs more pilots!
