Costs rise as private flying shrinks in Ohio
Private aviation costs push Ohioans away from pleasure flights. In January business was as slow as ever, with pilots like Dan Landis noting many would rather eat than fly. From 1979 to 1983 the state’s pilot pool fell from 28,994 to 22,865 while national pilots dropped from 730,881 to 66,431, as rental, fuel, insurance and instruction costs surge.
