I see some of the bills for our airplane and it is just astonishing how fast it eats money.
We charge $650 per hour to any client and that is from startup to shutdown. Of course we don't charge the client that, it is just built into the job. They just pay for the mapping or services provided. The airplane cost is just a base. That pays the pilot and buys the fuel and pays for maintenance. The camera cost us 11 bucks every time the shutter fires.
Of course the only way we make any real money is to have that airplane in the air. The more it flies the more we make. We don't fly it for practice or fun, just for money. We are just money grubber capitalists not a charity. Of course that is why people go to work every day. That nice paycheck, or the crappy paycheck whichever it may be.
