When we think of airplane ownership, specifically small single engine piston engine airplanes. The general consensus is that owning an airplane is only reserved for the rich. Well I hate to break to ya. Actually just about anyone with a good job can afford to own an airplane. If you can afford a brand new Toyota Camry, chances are you can afford to own a single engine airplane.
All of the airplanes shared in this video are certified, cessna, piper, beechcraft, and Grumman. Consider these airplanes old and rugged. They are rugged and very reliable aircrafts. The fact that they’ve already made it through several decades and still flyable is amazing.
Here are the 5 airplanes listed
Piper Tomahawk - A great 2 seater personal trainer that's easy and affordable to operate. The piper tomahawk is great for flight training and time building
Capacity: 2 People
Engine: Lycoming 112 HP
Range: 500 Miles
Speed: 110 mph
Price: $20k - $30k
Cessna 172 - When you think of the godfather of general aviation aircrafts, think of the cessna 172. One of the oldest modeled airplane still being produced in the US today. The 172 have certainly earned it’s stripes in aviation over that last few decades. A great reliable and safe airplane, but with more speed, range and better useful load than the cessna 150. Cessna 172 remains one of the most utilized training aircraft till today.

Grumman Traveler - Grumman traveler is the 4 seater version of Grumman yankee. A very good beginner aircraft with low operational cost. Also great from time building. Grumman is a vintage aircraft still flying today. The best thing about the Grumman is not only its handling characteristics but the price. A used Grumman can be bought in today’s market for as little as $26,000. The late 60s models with a nice six pack avionics panel. Low purchase price also translate into low maintenance cost for this airplane.

Beechcraft Sundowner - The Beechcraft Sundowner is not a plane you hear much about. It’s an older 4 seater, true crosscountry aircraft that perhaps have been sideswiped by its bigger competitors, namely the piper cherokee/arrows and Cessna 172.
But this aircraft is legitimately one of the better planes to fly for new pilots. Whether you’re just a beginning, training for your next ticket or just need an airplane to build time, you need not look any further.
Engine: 180HP Lycoming
Useful load: 948 pounds
Baggage capacity: 270 pounds
Fuel capacity: 58 gallons
Cruise speed: 120 mph
Fuel burn: 11 - 12 gallons per hour
Range: up to 700 miles
Price: $30k - $50k
Cessna 150: The cessna 150 is what you consider your modern day light sport aircraft. Except the model is about 50 years old. And unlike modern light airplanes, cessna 150s are fully certified aircrafts. Both for VFR and IFR flying if fully equipped. The best thing about this airplane is the low entry cost and low cost of maintenance. Also the cessna 150 is one of the most forgiving airplanes in General aviation. Very reliable and slow to fly. Great airplane to learn and build some time for new pilots.
Capacity: 2 People
Engine: Lycoming 112 HP
Range: 400 Miles
Speed: 100 mph
Price: $20k - $30k
