flyingferret 0 #1 October 28, 2004 I was just curious. I know the current fuel prices are hurting Cessna DZOs. What are you currently paying for a Cessna lift to 10,500? Turbine is a different story, and Jet A is cheaper right now (at least here). So to make things worse, Cessna DZs are having a really hard time at price per grand.-- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

jtval 0 #4 October 28, 2004 well we were paying 15 but now we have the grand caravan and I think were paying 18-19 now. which is still damn good to 13000-13500ft agl. we paid 18 last year but I think the prices are knocking up the Jump tiocket to 19My photos My Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikeJD 0 #6 October 28, 2004 We don't have a Cessna at my UK dropzone. But if you're unlucky enough to find yourself riding the piston Islander to 10 grand, you're also unlucky enough to be paying £18 for the privilege. That's right, pounds! I make that about $33, which is way off the scale of your poll options Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites gordy 0 #7 October 28, 2004 Yip....so much better across the pond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites kingbunky 3 #8 October 28, 2004 $23.93USD ($30CDN) to 10500...."Hang on a sec, the young'uns are throwin' beer cans at a golf cart."
