air fare
ive been turned onto a guy that has a 75S 911 for sale and have found he's one hell of a retired fella after speaking with him on the phone a couple times.. the car looks great too but ill get back to that. he lives in one of those fly in country club up above sac on hwy 80 in auburn and has a number of planes at his house. he has suggested he fly down to the peninsula's airport in palo alto, pick me up, fly to his place to see & drive the car, then he'd fly me back to PA. he has said "if I covered costs" which I tried to get an estimate on and he never did say.
it's likely not some jet or turbo prop 10 seater, but I might expect a small Cessna or the like. it's been suggested it may be a 45 minute flight by a friend, same guy said he'd not ride in a plane with a piolet he did not know. the seller flier did say the flight was fully weather permitting.
would fuel costs be more than a couple hundred bucks? not sure of the airport in palo alto, but id imagine there is a cost to land a plane at non affiliated air strips? can any of you fliers share some knowledge on what I might expect in cost, or any questions I should ask him? the guy who recommended the sale of what looks to be a solid 75S speaks very highly of him.
drive or fly?
