Back with the second half of Krish’s interview. Krish is a Grumman Tiger Pilot & Owner and in this video he takes us through the actual cost of owning a 1979 Grumman Tiger.

The cost of ownership includes the original purchase price of the airplane, then you have you fixed cost like hangar, insurance etc. Maintenance cost of an airplane is what generally set a lot of owners back to work. Krish discussed having to change some avionics, propeller, engine cowling, and after 300 hours of flying him and his partners also had to overhaul the 180hp engine, which cost a whopping $28,000.

Now Krish does have 3 other partners who own the airplane with him. This helps tremendously because all of the cost of ownership, flight and maintenance are all shared equally among the 4 partners. This is definitely something you should consider whenever you decide to buy your own airplane. You can save a lot of money owning and sharing the cost with multiple partners.
