Al. You seem to think I could buy another aircraft from the "saving" I would make as a tax deduction.
Wow. I wish it worked like that! It doesn't. Still losing money from any donation- just not as much.
But good idea re donating all the money.
I will donate all the money from the sale , but to various charities inc the RFDS. But I have to sell the aircraft first! If prune enthusiasts have suggestions on what aviation charities should be supported please advise me . I like Angel Flight and the RFDS as well as others .
Worked out the extra fuel cost of the trip to Christmas Island and back. It's a little over $8,000 of sheer waste plus a couple of extra landing charges.
Poor commercial side of the industry- will be sent to bankruptcy - especially the IFR trainers who from Feb next year will have to fit ADSB to any aircraft that operates IFR.
