For sale is a 1/9th share in the Young Flying Group syndicate that owns and operates a well maintained IFR 180hp Cessna 172 and hangar at Young Aerodrome (YYNG) with reserve funds for engine and propellor replacement/overhaul. The syndicate has been operating since 1987 and currently has eight members. The aircraft is currently charged out at a rate of $270 per hour tacho which includes fuel, oil and maintenance. Other than flying fees members pay an annual levy to cover fixed costs (e.g. insurance, hangar rates, ASIC fees, e-allocator fees), the levy for 2023-24 was set at $575. Rather than keep our small but long-running syndicate a secret we thought we'd let other interested pilots know about this great little plane. |
