Aircraft Hire in Florida

[egbgstudent]

I am sure that this has been posted before, but here goes anyway.

My wife has embarked on a quest to get me to go to Florida (along with her family and friends). While there, I thought I might do the 'tourist' thing, and go for a tootle around the bay.

To that ends, and with a group of us (who will want to go with me) I pose a question....

Does anyone know of anywhere in the Orlando / Sanford / Kissimmee area that has got a descent 6 seater for hire (with a destructor)?

As it will be with said instructor, this does open up a little, so single or twin (Saratoga / C210 / Seneca... possibly up to Navajo size if enough guests want to go)

Hi. Just Google "Aircraft hire in Florida" and there are hundreds to choose from...

Thanks BRL, am still trawling through Google. Plenty of C172's and PA28's, but nothing so far with 6 or more seats

Ahh right, ok! There must be someone on here who can lend you a twin..

Good Luck. :)

There are not too many operators willing to hire 6 seaters because of the horrendous extra insurance requirements.

I've known one place take the middle row of seats out of a Seneca and have it declared as a four seater in order to be able to afford the insurance.

There is, however, someone running a couple of Seneca V aircraft at Orlando International.

I would strongly suspect that you could get a six seat aircraft from Air Orlando at Orlando Executive Airport.

Have a llok at www.airnav.com (http://www.airnav.com) try "Airfields" tab and enter the identifier "KORL" (without the quotes).

It should list all operators at that airfield.

I know that www.parisair.com (http://www.parisair.com) have various Seneca models and a PA31 Chieftain (grown up Navajo) at the Vero Beach facility if you want to fly over the coastline and Atlantic Ocean (absolutely gorgeous views on a nice sunny day).

JUst thought: Seneca 1 available (dual only) at www.sunstateaviation.com (http://www.sunstateaviation.com) in Kissimmee - e.mail Mike Camelin [email protected] ($330 an hour dual).
