 Re: Help me brainstorm!
Here goes...
- Photo flights for real estate people.
- Mile High Flights. I'm not kidding here. There's a place in the ATL area that does MH Flights in a Cherroke for $250 a flight, which includes the sheets from the bed in the back. All you need to do is put a curtain up and you're done. This would fall, I think, under part 91 since it would just be a sightseeing flight.
- Angel Flight. Granted it wouldn't generate revenue, but they FBO would get a tax break on it.
- Run a fishing charter, before you start talking about 135 let me put it this way. People pay to go fishing, they don't pay the pilot or for the fuel. That way the pilot doesn't pay less than his share. Basically the business would be fishing. The plane is simply used in the furtherance of the fishing business. Could do the same thing with SCUBA. The FBO is in business of selling dive trips, not charter flights (although I'd talk with a lawyer before this one started).
- Glider towing.
- Banner towing.
- Dropping skydivers.
- How about like an aircraft AAA? Sell memberships and if a pilot gets stuck or needs a repair you use the plane to pick him up and/or get an A&P over to him to fix the plane.
Just some thoughts.
