Today, we're talking about a dream that many of us have had at some point - buying your first airplane. But it's not just about fulfilling a childhood dream, it's a big financial commitment, and it's important to strike a balance between your heart and your wallet.
Buying your first airplane can be a rewarding and exciting experience, but it's important to balance your heart with your wallet. With the right research, planning, and preparation, you can find the perfect plane for you and start enjoying the skies.
The 7-steps to airplane ownership:
1. Buy for the type of flying you’ll do.
2. Know your mission! (important)
3. What’s your budget? (how much $)
4. Research different types of airplanes.
5. Consider the costs of ownership.
6. Get a pre-buy inspection! (do it!)
7. Balance your heart and your wallet!
Here's a list of some great "transactional" airplane buying videos:

Well done! Someday!

@GingerThePlane Год назад

The weather is getting better, pretty soon we can take that first flight in Ginger together. I’m looking forward to it! 👍✈️🍀

@JohnVHRC Год назад

@@GingerThePlane yeah buddy! Excited.

@edroman2042 Год назад

Makes want to buy one today, and I’m not even a pilot…yet. Thanks for the advice.

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Hi Ed, I’m glad you liked the video! Earning a pilots license is an amazing achievement, you definitely have a lot to look forward to 👍 My whole life all I ever wanted to do was fly and maybe, if I worked hard enough, I’d have my own airplane. My wonderful wife was the driving force behind us buying Ginger, it was her support that ultimately helped us figure out a way to make it work financially. I’m grateful for every flight, thanks for watching and welcome to Ginger’s channel 👍✈️🍀

Timely video, as I’m in the process of buying my first plane -a ginger RV-12. Beyond the acquisition cost, one big decision factor for me was the relatively low cost of ownership for a simple airplane, balanced with the flying fun factor (the RV Grin) and strong factory support combined with a robust community of Vans Air Force. Of course, I’ve also dreamt of this since I started flying in 1989 …

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Congratulations, Billy! You’re choosing wisely, that’s a wonderful airplane (as I’m sure you know)!! I started flying in 1990, almost as long ago as you, and we bought our 1st and only airplane “Ginger” in late 2020. Life and family interrupted my flying for periods of time and money was always placed toward educations, houses and more important things. My guess is you’ve finally reached the point where buying the RV-12 wasn’t competing with higher priority decisions, it took a long time but we both got here in the end. Hopefully your RV-12 has the Dynon Skyview HDX, we have that in Ginger and it’s a joy to fly behind. Thanks for watching and welcome to Ginger’s channel 👍✈️🍀

This channel is great!

@HugoHugunin Год назад

One of the best, in my book. Best balance of voice-over, flying "porn", video length and flying topics. Never get bored with any videos from this channel

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thanks my friend, your unwavering support is greatly appreciated and truly humbling ❤️⭐️

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thank you, Jack! That’s very kind of you to say! Thanks for watching and welcome to Ginger’s channel 👍✈️🍀

@felipeberrio6161 Год назад

I really love the way you show your ways to show us your knowledge of life and fly!, showing exactly one of my biggest dreams and what I fight for here in Colombia the country where I was born. I'm 19 currently working in all different things and all I can see so I can pay my flight hours and start my real career as a pilot, you know all of that is necessary. Hope one day to be enjoying that with my family and meet the best aviation enjoyers to fly everywhere! This is a great great inspiration, thank you so muchoooo for sharing!!! Jejeje 😁🛩️

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Hola Felipe, thank you for your kind words! I’m sure you can become a pilot and enjoy flying in your beautiful country. Best wishes to you and please let me know how you’re doing when you earn your pilots license. 👍✈️🍀

@RusscanFLY Год назад

This is an awesome video! You were definitely talking to me brother!

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thanks Russ, I really appreciate that, I can’t wait to see you in your own “little Sammy” or something else. It took us many, many years to get Ginger and I’m so grateful for this, seeing a friend go through that process and knowing it’s a goal for every pilot made the decision to make this video an easy one. Someday I’d like you to visit and fly Ginger around this area, how cool would that be?! Be well my friend! 👍✈️🍀

@Wardog22476 Год назад

Go for it Russ! It may feel daunting. But the freedom is worth every penny. My Cessna 172H I flew from Riverside Cali to Doylestown was the most breathtaking experience ever. Also, write your ideas and mission to see what aircraft will fulfill most of your goals as possible. Once you wrote down your mission plane, then find a plane that you want on the plane, set a budget and good hunting!

@GingerThePlane Год назад

@@Wardog22476 very, very well said! Thank you, I’m with you in wanting to see Russ fly his own airplane someday!! 👍✈️🍀

@aviatorlife1806 Год назад

There are few things more exhilarating and terrifying in GA than when you first get handed the keys to your airplane. There's a fair amount of "Oh f***! What have I done?" But the experiences more than make up for it. Congratulations to your friend!

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Exactly right! That’s my #1 key takeaway from buying Ginger and seeing that moment again on my buddy’s face the day he picked up his 172. Part elation and part terror, the “what did I do?!” moment, and then acceptance and joy!! Glad you’re enjoying your airplane, too, there’s simply nothing like it! 👍✈️🍀

@BryceCassagneres Год назад

Super great advice! Loved seeing the big 'ol smile on the previous owner's face when he saw the new owner with the plane! Can we expect some tandem flights with both of these beautiful 172s soon?

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thanks Bryce, the moment when Roger (former owner) and Bryant (new owner) shook hands is forever etched into my heart. They’re both such good guys, and I know Roger will fly in 22230 with Bryant and he has a seat with me in Ginger anytime he wants it. Yes, you will see both 172s flying together this year, I’m already looking for places we can fly to. Lots to look forward to 👍

@johnnybattlelife 8 месяцев назад

Nice video, what are there reasons you like a high wing vs a low wing?

@GingerThePlane 8 месяцев назад

Personal preference, I’ve flown lots of low wing aircraft, too. I like having 2 doors, a vertical side of the fuselage by the cockpit, shade from the sun, cover from rain (at airshows) and greater flexibility with landing surfaces. There are lots of attributes that make low wings great but I’ll stick with high wings. Thanks for asking and welcome to Ginger’s channel 👍👍

@tomkurcz6669 Год назад

there is probably nothing more truer than in many ways you are who you are and where you are by the choices that you make.... goodness - to be an old saying to death - I wish I knew now back then I be in a different place... but love my life, love to fly, love seeing others enjoy the same -- Awesome Video, perfect advise and great channel - See ya in the skies!!👍👍👍

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thanks Tom, I greatly appreciate your response and you’ve nailed exactly how I feel about it all, too! We’re both Toms, maybe that’s it, probably it’s being pilots with a passion for flight. It was pure joy for me to share this story as well as a few hard-earned lessons about buying and the ownership (stewardship actually, do we ever really own an airplane?) of such an amazing machine! See ya out there! 👍✈️🍀

@HugoHugunin Год назад

Thanks for all that you give to everyone with your videos. Here is a small thanks to buy a couple gallons of avgas, or ½ of a $100 hamburger. Or, take your wife out for a movie.

@GingerThePlane Год назад

Thanks again, Hugo! Your encouragement means a lot to me, I really appreciate it! I’m very thankful that you’re here and a part of this journey. This was a fun video to make, the handshake between new and former owners was a bittersweet moment immortalized for future owners of 22230 to see. My friend is an excellent guy, he will make this 172M perfect in time and I look forward to flying together to lots of cool places here in the PNW. I’m already flight planning a visit to Salem, looking forward to meeting you one day soon. Be well my friend! 👍✈️🍀
