If they can rent an airplane and fly to Kentucky cheaper than driving they had to be staying at some 5 star hotels and eating a lot of lobster and prime rib.
The day rate for most aircraft gets expensive fast. Refueling is usually 300 to 500 bucks. When we owned the 206 which was a 6 passenger aircraft if was 700 bucks in fuel alone to get to Baron Rouge and back and that was not counting maintenance and hangar and all the other expenses. We calculated it was about a dollar per statute mile to operate and make a profit so that is what we charged a client for our travel time.
Zero doubt, it is a ton faster flying but it is not cheap.
