We had to raise the rate we charge per hour for running our airplane. Fuel prices whent nuts, and it is easy to suck up $800 in a day in gas alone. We hear that getting a factory fresh rebuild is two years behind, and the cost has shot up a lot. Our next engine may well be 50 grand for the entire process and there is no waiting, the FAA has rules. The engine can test out to be perfect in every way, but after the set number of hours, it is just a rebuildable core and can't be used to fly the airplane.
