Things to think about….You might run this past Wilfred Ryan of the Alaska Air Carriers Association, and a pilot and air service owner himself. He has been developing ways to mentor Alaskan Natives into aviation careers and may have ideas on how you could make this work, or what pitfalls you may need to avoid. You probably already know him. He’s from Unalakleet and now lives in Anchorage.You are buying a business and one plane for $120,000. He used 3 planes to profit $200,000 a year, or did I read it wrong? What kind of profit would you make with one plane, or are you planning on expanding? Is this operation ready to go, or do you need to spend more money first?Are there any liabilities, such as old fuel tanks, that you would have to deal with?Maybe a next step would be to talk with people you know and see what it would have to cost to encourage them to fly more, or to fly instead of drive (if they can). Can you contract with the corporation to fly people in for meetings, funerals, etc? If you were a non-profit educational arm of another non-profit, then maybe you wouldn’t have to worry about competition? Would you just take wages, like you are doing now, if it is a non-profit?Any ideas for developing new markets?Any tourism possibilities, maybe tied to scenery or to a village that is developing some ecotourism or cultural programs for visitors?You probably noticed that the air ambulance sells memberships that give you a free medevac if you need one. Would something like that work for you, and keep the cash flowing?I admire you for looking into this. I hope it works for you. If not, you have really given it a thorough examination and will make an informed decision that it won’t work in today’s economy. Keep asking around. Someone out there may have a really great idea. You are so right, aviation is here to stay. hooray!

Cessna Caravan would do it no problem. Also you could look at the Pilatus. Its not quite as big but may beable to accomadate. Both of these are turbine single engine.

“Skyhawk” is just the name given to the Cessna 172. I believe early on the “Skyhawk” was a Cessna 172 with a little nicer interior and more standard features, but that they were the same type of plane. This distinction was soon dropped. The 2 names can be used interchangeably, but when completing any form that requires aircraft type (flight plan, log book, etc) you would use C172. The 152 has been out of production since 1983. Cessna recently introduced a new 2 seat Light Sport Aircraft, the 162 Skycatcher
