David lane wrote to me with this info:
I can give you what it cost me in general to fly my Invader N119DR, 44-34313 over the past four years and you can figure out the hourly costs depending on your flying per month estimate.
Insurance, liability only for two seats (pilot-co-pilot )no hull insurance: $8,000. per year.
Annual Inspection: My average is $25,000. per year. It is said it takes "seven men, seven days" to complete an inspection of an very airworthy A-26 so this would be a conservative cost estimate of the labor involved, and varies with the shop rate or A&P's hourly rate. Parts cost of course will vary depending how good or bad the condition of the Invader and these airplanes always need a lot of something.
Fuel and oil per hour in California: $450. based on 150 gallons per hour and a few gallons of oil.
Tie-down: $150.00 per month.
When you find someone wealthy who would like to fly an A-26 and share the operating expenses, point him my way will ya?
