How Much Does it Cost to Own and Restore an Airplane? My Cherokee Six Cost Breakdowns! 

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts and it was my pleasure. Congratulations on your retirement!

Thanks Antonio...Trying to contribute to General Aviation the best way I can. I hope all has been well! Always great to hear from you my friend! Happy Holidays!

Most certainly Mike Stemig. I'm here to try to help our General Aviation community as much as I possibly can. I think life would be a bit dull and boring without my family so I do make a point to involve them in every aspect of my life. Actually, they are my life :-). Thanks for your wonderful words of inspiration Mike. May God bless you and keep you and your family safe!

Thanks for your great support Matt and I am glad that you have done that PPL. I can assure you that the instrument training will most likely be the best aviation training ever. To tell you the truth Mike, I am totally inspired and motivated by the love the fans have shown me on this channel. I have been blown away with how the channel has been taken off. Please keep me posted on your aviation success! Have a great New Year!

Absolutely Rob...My pleasure!

My pleasure Jack! I tell you, making these videos on long cross countries helps keep me alert and makes the trip go smoother. Thanks!

You are so welcome Luis! I am glad you found me and shared such an encouraging comment. You'll never regret getting your PPL. Keep me informed of your progress. Dios te bendiga Luis!

You are welcome and thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with me Felipe!

Thanks Robert! I had several requests on cost from the last video so I figured I could help with having some idea of the cost factor. I hope you have a safe and cheerful New Year!

Thank you very much Sam and my pleasure to you!

My pleasure Jason and thank you for the feedback and for joining the community.

Hello Paul, It can most definitely get expensive really fast. But properly managed, it can be doable. It is also one of the best ways I have rewarded myself, my family, and friends. I thank you for watching and for your comment. One of the best things I enjoy making these videos is connecting with others. Take care and stay safe!

Thanks for watching and the comment Avery!

Thank you very much Hans! Please drop in as often as you like! I really enjoy the amazing interaction with all of you!

Welcome aboard Ricardo and thank you for watching and for your inspiring comment. Please keep in touch and keep me posted on your research status. Thank you again and have a great day!

Thanks Curtis! I most certainly appreciate you!

Thanks antonio, I really appreciate that. And I do love making beats and I'm glad you like them. Take care buddy!

Thanks Bruce and welcome! Thanks for watching and thanks for letting me know that you enjoyed the video. My main reason for sharing multiple quotes was to let people know to take their time and shop around. Had I gone with the first quote for everything I wanted I would have paid 20-25k by going with a different brand and/or a different shop.

Getting multiple quotes is always a great idea. What I liked about your video is you knew what you wanted and you had great sense as to which components were overpriced. Very well done! I expect to watch many of your videos over time.

@@brucecuratola6389 Thank you Bruce and I hope you keep in touch. I enjoy the comments!

Thank you Saul! I appreciate the comment!

I am glad to hear that Cody! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

Hi Chris, it’s always great to hear from one of the premier members. The fan support is amazing Chris and I hope to be a positive contributor to our aviation community. Happy Holidays my friend!

Thanks a lot! Hope this helps with putting ideas together. Stay blessed!

Thank you Michael! Happy New Year to you and God bless you my friend!

Thanks Roland! It's amazing how incredibly supporting you guys are. You all keep me motivated and truly inspired. God bless you and keep in touch!

Hello Estrella! I hope you had a marvelous New Year. As always, thank you very much for all of your support. I am also looking forward to 2021 with more ideas to come. Thank you for always keeping in contact with me and may God bless you always!

Thanks again Bill, you and about three others was the reason for this video. It makes me feel really good that you all have been incredibly supporting. Where did you decide to get your interior? And trust me, I feel the pain! I wanted to get new avionics since around 2014 but I kept pushing it back. I'm glad I did because competition made everything more manageable with pricing and options. Such as options like what you are considering (uavionix av-30,s). Those are pretty sleek. I like flying IFR and that vacuum pump was a major concern for me. Take care my great friend and I always appreciate your interaction!

Thanks for the comment and for watching Mike! God bless you and Happy New year!

Thank you Nick! I really appreciate the comment. God bless you and have a great day!

Thank you very much Kirk! Have a great day!

My pleasure Tango. Thank you for the comment! :-)

Thanks and you are very welcome! 😀

John, thanks and welcome to the channel my friend. When I make these type of informative videos I normally go by a script. If I don't then time will get out of hand quickly and it will probably end up not being as informative. I left out many other details and cost factors that were not specific to this particular video or otherwise I may have still be talking ;-). I am working on another video which will be more specific to purchasing an airplane. That one is still about a month out but please stay tuned for it. Thanks again and I appreciate any comment or question that may arise.

Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot Marcos! 😀

Thanks a lot Earnest! Have a great day!

Thanks Anthony, God bless you and Happy New Year!

Thank you very much and welcome to the channel my friend!

Thanks a lot Bart and welcome to the club! I hope you enjoy the content! Have a great day!

Thanks a lot 😀

Congratulations on your journey towards your license. I totally agree with you. Airplane ownership is pretty awesome and adventurous. Best wishes to you!

Glad I could hep out. I wish I had seen something like this before I bought mine over 10 years ago 😀

You are very welcome Mike! Thanks for the comment and for stopping by!

Thanks for the visit and the comment Johnny! 😀

Alan, thank you, thank you, thank you! I hope to be as much of an inspiration as you all have been to me. Happy Holidays and God bless you!

Hi Carlos! Thank you very much my friend!

My Pleasure 😀

My pleasure Darrell! 😀

Thank you 🙌

Thanks for watching and for your wonderful comment!

Thank you very much Cedric! Flying is extremely exciting and I wish you the best in your flight journey adventures. Have a blessed 2022 Cedric!

@@FlyingDirty Thank you and likewise!

Thanks t34; you are truly appreciated for dropping by! God bless you brother!

A 430W is exactly what I had before and you are welcome! Thanks for watching and have a great day!

Ranger, you have no idea how long I had that buying thought in the back of my mind. It was like living inside a dream when it happened! If you do please let me know so I can congratulate you my friend!

@@FlyingDirty Unfortunately with everything that is going on right now and other financial commitments coming on the horizon, namely looking at buying a house, I think it is still gonna be a ways off. Maybe in a year or so when Im getting close to 1500 and needing to get in those last hours for ATP would I look more seriously at buying. Granted found a fantastic Lance that had just about everything save for a 3 blade prop, its just trying to justify the $150K price tag is a little much right now.

Thanks again JoeCoolPilot! Please keep in touch and happy flying to you!

My pleasure NC Farmer and thank you very much for sharing your thoughts!

Thanks for the comment and for watching Vjuco! The Rockies are amazing! God bless you and have a great day!

My pleasure Robin! Thanks for watching and your words of of encouragement. Please keep in touch!

Hi Cesar, great to hear from you! Did you ask Santa for a Six? You must keep me posted on your journey. Perhaps one day we could get them both together! Happy Holidays to you my friend!

I ask for it, but the boss ( wife) told him to wait into next year. I have been looking around. I will like to contact you later to get advice on buying and what and were to look, When it come to the 6.

@@cesarbernard6904 absolutely! I’ll be here to help you out!

Thank you very much my friend!

Ed, you have no idea LOL. That autopilot is a great to have. I don't get as fatigued as I used to before. Thanks the wonderful comments as always Ed! Have a great day!

That is fantastic Gregory! Thank you! Your comment made my day and brought me a smile! Have a great day!

He did an awesome job and he was impressively organized with scheduling. Best wishes!

You are welcome! Thanks for watching and the comment!

Thanks a lot for watching and the encouraging comment!

Thanks a lot! I hope it helps 😀

@@FlyingDirty ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thanks a lot and please keep up with your goals. Flying is incredible!

I have done a lot of research on many products, including gps units, and Garmin is way overrated. It does not mount up in user experience and customization. The Dynon and IFD gps units going totally hybrid as opposed to 100% touchscreen is jut one example of how some of these other companies care about the customer experience. Garmin only seems to care about ripping people off 😀. I really don’t get how folks have been so brainwashed by them. On the other hand, compatibility goes to Garmin but they are trying to do away with legacy compatibility also.

Thank you Michael...I did the video because I had wished I had seen something like this when I was searching. So I hope to give others a general idea of true costs.

My pleasure 😊

Thank you Frank! Saludos!

Thank you very much Thomas!

Thank you very much Jose! Buen dia!

Thank you and you are very welcome!

Glad it helps George! Thank you!

They are incredible! Best wishes with your search my friend! 😀

Good morning (us time) Julian! I really hope you find what you're looking for my friend. I really like the Six and I think it will be a great airplane for you. It's a great transition from the planes you already fly. We had a very nice healthy Christmas with the family and I hope yours was great also. Happy Holidays and a Happy and prosperous New Year to you and your family!

@@FlyingDirty thank you so much Raul. We plan to move to FL in the next years so I hope there to find a nice plane. Speak soon and have a wonderful day☀️

@@SquawkVFR1981 Florida is pretty nice and the Bahamas are very close. I have family all over Florida so maybe you’ll be near one of them.

Thank you very much Reginald. You comment really means a lot to me 😀

My pleasure my brother! Great to hear that you started your training. This has been one of my most fascinating and rewarding experiences. I wish you the very best and keep pushing forward my brother. God bless you!
