Are you the kind of person who has gone to all the airshows, stopped by the airport just to “look”?

Or maybe you are the highly experienced pilot out of answers or just bored….?

There is a secret to flying.  The secret has been hidden in plain view all along.  The secret is so simple, that you have already thought about it!  You just have ignored it.

Here is your opportunity.  Will you take it?

Before I discuss the “SECRET”, let me ask you this.  What made you excited about aviation in the first place?  Why have you always wanted to fly?  Don’t answer right away.  Really THINK about it.

Here are a few to get you thinking….:

1. To travel more.
2. To get a job as an airline pilot.
3. To experience the thrill.
4. For the challenge of the accomplishment.
5. Just to enjoy the view from up high.
6. To learn how to fly like the airshow pilots….upside down, tumbling through the sky.
7. To fly a real warbird or historic aircraft.

The reasons TO fly are just a numerous as the reasons to NOT fly:

1. Too expensive.
2. Too time consuming.
3. Too complicated.
4. Too hard to get started…almost like a “closed” group.
5. My wife (or husband) won’t let me…
6. Too dangerous.

In both cases, for and against…the list goes on and on.  But you wanted to know the SECRET!  Well here it is.

The “secret” to flying is to: (1) Find an airplane, (2) Get in it and (3) take-off.

What were you expecting?  You see, flying is easy.  You do not need to be a pilot.  But you do need something that most people lack: a true mentor.

When most people start down the path of their journey into aviation, they get mis-directed, mis-informed and mis-treated.  This is YOUR dream, YOUR vision…you don’t need someone telling you want won’t work.  Everyone has a unique experience they are looking for in aviation.  It is a unique freedom that too few experience.

Your first step toward the SECRET to success is to contact David Costa at Renegade Aviation.  Just email me for a confidential and relaxed conversation.  http://www.renegadeaviation.com

Let make your dreams….REALITY.

High Sierra Squadron has two classic and spectacular examples of World War II and Korean era aircraft under maintenance and restoration. They are flying a U.S. Navy N3N-3, two-seat, open cockpit, biplane trainer, built in 1941 by the Navy.  The team is also restoring to flight status, a U.S. Air Force single-seat F-86F Sabre Jet fighter, built in 1952 by North American.

“The Commemorative Air Force (CAF )was founded to acquire, restore and preserve in flying condition a complete collection of combat aircraft which were flown by all military services of the United States for the education and enjoyment of present and future generations of Americans”, stated Colonel Charles Gillespie, High Sierra Squadron Commander.  “We rely on donations to maintain these historic aircraft and receive no government funding.”

David Costa, CEO, Renegade Concepts, Inc. has been contracted by eCycleBEST to manage the program.  “We saw an opportunity to serve many people with this fund raising program”, states Costa.  “Everyone wins with this simple concept.  The civic organizations raise money with a simple system.  Businesses and individuals can easily transfer their unwanted or unused qualified devices.  Everyone wins, including the environment, with our recycling efforts at eCycleBEST.”

Businesses and individuals who wish to participate by donating their unwanted laptops and smart phones need simply send an email to eCycleBEST@gmail.com, and eCycleBEST takes care of all the details.  Under this program even shipping is free.  Complete documentation of the donation is provided.

The High Sierra Squadron has these historic aircraft available for public display at the Reno Tahoe Stead Airport.  They meet each week on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.  Anyone with an interest in the preservation of historic aircraft is encouraged to become a member.

1958 Piper Apache (Turbo) Unique Opportunity

(Note: This is not an offer of sale, refer to the terms and conditions after initial qualification)

Renegade Team Ownership:

Renegade Team Ownership takes the hassle out of owning and operating high performance and multiengine aircraft.  With this program, a small group of “team owners”[i] maintain many of the benefits of aircraft ownership and participate directly in the revenue operations and opportunities of the overall programs that Renegade Aviation offers.

If you want the freedom to fly, a safe process to fly really fun aircraft…not just a trainer and don’t want to be financially crushed by trying to do it all on your own….then read on.

There are Four (4) positions available.  Owners are strictly limited so that your time with the aircraft is maximized.

Each position is sold at $25,000.

A simple finance option is available.

The Four (4) Renegade Team Owners will have a large percentage (after expenses) invested directly into the aircraft.  (Paint, Interior, Avionics and Right Engine).  We invest into the aircraft as the ownership group grows to provide YOU the input into creating the aircraft of your dreams.    At the conclusion of this process all Renegade Team Owners benefit from a totally renovated aircraft, that provides a better flying experience for all involved.  In addition our other unique activities continue to provide revenue to the continual process of keeping the aircraft in top condition.

You could try to purchase your own aircraft for $25,000, but you would not be able to even operate a “basket case” for the low cost of Renegade Team Ownership.  In the past we have participated in “team ownership” for aircraft like the J-3 Cub, North American AT-6, Great Lakes Bi-Plane and even a Douglas DC-3.  We know what works and why.  We are currently looking for an L-29 Jet with a Viper Engine and a cabin class business aircraft.  (Contact us if you wish to get more information on these as well).[ii]

You benefit from Renegade Team Ownership as follows:

1. Priority access to the aircraft and ability to schedule overnight and multi-day trips anywhere!  Fly when you want…where you want….and don’t worry about the hassles of commercial aviation and the TSA!
2. Voting power in the operation of the aircraft.[iii]
3. Lowest operational cost (per flight hour, dry) of only $50.00![iv]
4. Low monthly cost of $99.00
5. FREE space available simulator time (coming soon).
6. FREE Check Out and Flight Instruction![v]
7. Participation in Renegade Aviation Revenue Activities[vi] designed to further support your flying fun!
8. No flight time limits.  Fly all you want![vii]
9. Open to business ownership as well.  Fly yourself or use our pilots (for a low daily rate)[viii].

10.  Upgrade to new, larger, faster or unique aircraft and 100% of your initial investment is credited toward your upgrade![ix]

11.  When available, access to other aircraft located throughout the US. (The Reno-based aircraft is the proof of concept, with a new location planned in Southwest Florida)[x].

There is no better way to fly the Apache that through Renegade Team Ownership!

There is no “cheap”[xi] way to fly…but with Renegade Team Ownership you can best control the costs while you maximize your time having fun and flying safe!

Renegade Team Membership:

Renegade Team Membership is the simple alternative to purchasing block time to build flight time.  Why tie up your rental money all at once?  Renegade Team Membership is the ideal solution to renting aircraft by the hour at a flight school or purchasing a “time building program”.

Simply maintain your annual membership with a low annual fee and take advantage of low block time prices when you are ready to fly!  Fly an aircraft treated with care.  This is not the traditional “multiengine trainer”.  This is a Renegade Team Ownership aircraft it is better.

The first 100 hours of your multiengine flying is critical.  Renegade Team Membership is the best way to get that key experience.  Our training program is based upon REAL WORLD FLYING.  If you already have your multiengine rating and just want maintain currency…this is a good option, if the Renegade Team Ownership program is not right for you.

We only offer a small number of pilots the opportunity to become Renegade Team Members at any time.  There is a qualification process, designed to protect the interest of the Team Owners and to ensure that safe aircraft operations are maintained.  If you are looking for a career in commercial aviation….this is the option you need.

The annual cost is only $995.00.

The cost per hour (dry) is only $99.00 (50 hour limit per year at this rate)

Flight Instructor: $50.00/hr (discounted!)

Sim Time WITH Instructor: $50.00/hr (coming soon) – No limit to hours!

Apache and Multiengine Ground School: FREE

Renegade Easy-Pay Option for Team Ownership:

The option is offered on a case-by-case basis to otherwise qualified, potential Renegade Team Owners.[xii]

With a substantial down payment, Renegade Aviation will finance the balance.

Easy-Pay Option: $30,000.00 Total Initial Investment

$6,000 down, and then the balance of $24,000, paid at $1,000 per month for 24 months.

No prepayment penalty.  Prepayment bonus: reduce balance due by 10% when you are ready to pay off the balance due.

In the event of a default.  All monies paid are forfeited.  A default is described in the agreement documents.

Renegade Revenue Operations:

Aviation is an expensive proposition for most.  With Renegade Team Ownership and Team Membership…we have provided YOU the most hassle-free way to fly high performance and multiengine aircraft.

In order to provide the best service to our owners and members and to create the most safety and fun for everyone…we conduct various other operations to generate income to the aircraft.

These activities include:

• Retail aircraft rental.  No solo flight is permitted to further protect the owners and team.  Dual only with Renegade-qualified instructors.
• Scenic Rides.  Renegade-qualified team owners get FREE flying opportunities.
• Airshow sponsorships and marketing activities.  We are looking for the right opportunity that will generate revenue back to the ownership team.

So what is the next step?  How do I get started?

1. Contact David Costa, 775-742-7079.  Let’s have a relaxed conversation to determine your needs.  All experience levels are accepted.

1. Take a look at some videos of our Apache in flight!  http://www.youtube.com/renegadeav8r

1. We will determine together is this is a good fit.  This is not right for everyone.  If you ego is bigger than the aircraft…don’t bother.  If you can’t operate aircraft is a safe, prescribed fashion….don’t bother.  If you don’t like having fun….don’t bother.  If you have a thin skin…stay home.  Other than that….we are pretty open!

1. Come on out and look at the airplane.  We will sit down and go over the terms, conditions and Agreement together, step by step.  Get all of your questions answered.

1. After that?  Write a check and let’s go fly.   Welcome aboard!

Notes and Explanations:

[ii] There are special incentives for initial investors in any aircraft under one of our programs, including a investment payback, while maintaining flight privileges on the aircraft.  Contact us directly for details.

[iii] Per the terms and conditions of Renegade Team Ownership.

[iv] The Renegade Team Owner is responsible for the fuel and oil used on each flight.  The dry rate is deposited directly into the operational account for the aircraft to cover costs.

[v] Free Flight Instruction:  We provide up to 10 hours of flight instruction per Renegade Team Owner, PER YEAR!  Why do we do this?  We know how important safety is when you fly.  We know that the more confident you are in your abilities to operate high performance and multiengine aircraft safely, the more you will fly.  Our normal instructional rate is $70.00/hour.  All Renegade Team Owners also can participate in our FREE ground school training when offered.  Renegade Team Owners ALSO get a FREE checkout in the aircraft.  What does this mean?  It means that your time with an instructor during your checkout is INCLUDED and it does not count against your 10 FREE hours of dual with an instructor as long as you remain in good standing.  These offers do NOT include the cost of the aircraft, fuel, etc.  These are paid at the agreed rate.

[vi] Renegade revenue activities are managed and conducted by Renegade corporate pilots.  Renegade Team Owners may qualify and then may fly free in the conduct of these activities.  We do not hire outside pilots to fly our aircraft.  Renegade corporate pilots ARE also investors in the aircraft that they fly.  In some cases where a Renegade Team Owner is a corporation or business, the employees or contractors of that entity are allowed to fly the aircraft.  These situations are reflected in the terms and conditions for the aircraft.

[vii] The Team Ownership Terms and Conditions ensure that each owner has uninterrupted first choice at appropriate blocks of flight time.  But we also take steps to keep the plane flying with the other revenue generation options in the program.

[viii] The Piper Apache offers twin engine safety.  It is not an “all weather” aircraft but is an IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) aircraft.  The aircraft makes trips to the Bay Area, Sacramento, Salt Lake City, Boise, Las Vegas or even Southern California a breeze!  Turn hours of driving and an overnight stay, into a relaxing flight and be home for dinner!  Or fly the aircraft to many cities in several days for maximum work productivity without the TSA hassles of commercial aviation.  Aircraft are GOOD for YOUR business.  The Piper Apache is a great entry-level aircraft for a small business and you can upgrade into any size aircraft when your business is ready.  We will help you.

[ix] Do you need to fly 1500 miles in pressurized comfort, above the weather?  Do you need to carry more people and bigger loads?  Step up when you are ready and all of your initial investment in Renegade Team Ownership is credited toward the new plane.  We get involved in aircraft that meet the needs of our owners.  It takes one or two to get together on a particular type of aircraft and we do the rest!

[x] Imagine having access to a variety of aircraft that are simply hard to find elsewhere.  Imagine flying a warbird one day then hoping into a cross-country twin the next.  Flying is about freedom.  Flying is about safe fun.  Flying is an experience!  Once you are bit by the “flying bug”….you imagination runs wild!  Let it!  We can help make it happen but it all starts with you making a simple decision to get involved.

[xi] By the way, why would you want to fly “cheap” anyway….we fly right…or we don’t fly.  You want safety for yourself and your family.  Bring them along!  Flying is meant to be enjoyed by everyone!

[xii] In the event of a default, all monies invested are lost.  Once your share is purchased, you have the ability to sell or transfer your ownership share, per the terms and conditions in the Agreement.

It was not that many years ago when new pilots entering the airlines “had” to pay their dues flying (gasp)…turboprops!

Look, pilots love to complain.  Most people get only 8 days off a month….we get 11-15 off a month and we are overworked!  Or we are mad because the APU was deferred on the jet so we had to do a cross-bleed start.  Oh!  The agony of it all!

Hey look I am kidding, but it is true that for most new airline pilots who did not have the benefit of Uncle Sam paying for the training, we started out flying some pretty “interesting” aircraft…in some pretty “interesting” weather….with some pretty “interesting” results!

Then that first airline job!  Wow!  A turbo-prop!  Many times without an autopilot!  Wow!  We are really airline pilots now.

Well no more!  Now new pilots often move directly from General Aviation into the right seat of a superb jet such as the CRJ200.  I was out at the airport recently and was talking to a new 1000 hour pilot “expert” who said to me, “Dave, but isn’t that CRJ200 a real dog at altitude?”.  My response, “Compared to what?  That C-172 you teach in?”

I have been absolutely grateful for the opportunity to spend time at the airlines flying the CRJ 200.  One thing I learned was this.  If you want to keep your initial and recurrent training as pain free as possible….KNOW what you are talking about.

CRJ QUICK NOTES can help you do just that.  Take a look.  Good luck with your checkride!  I wish you HUGE success in an awesome career ….. professional pilot!

Owning and flying airplanes is a FREEDOM that can soon be lost if we are not careful.

It is in our best interests to exercise our right to fly.  Get out to the airport.  Fly often.  Take advantage of the businesses that are based at your local airport.

Better yet….grab a friend and take THEM flying!  There are many people who love aviation but don’t seem to take the time to get involved.  Make a difference for someone else.  Get involved yourself…and get others involved.

If you own an airplane, you know how expensive it can be to keep it in top operating condition.  You also know that in order for you to be safe in that aircraft…YOU need to be properly trained and current in that aircraft.

Renegade Aviation has tips, ideas and solutions that can reduce your cost of owning, operating and flying your aircraft.  Give us a call!

We are almost ready to install our completely rebuilt main cabin door on our Piper Apache!

The door functioned well for many, many years…but just a little rough handling of any part of an airplane can mean trouble.

Long story short…we removed the door and sent it away for a complete rebuild!

Having a door pop open in flight is not a big problem with the Piper Apache, but when we put new multi pilots into the left seat….why risk that distraction?

Safety first!

Call DAVE and get on the flight schedule for this spring!  775-742-7079

Flying a twin has never been easier!

The Piper Apache Program is now accepting applications for Team Ownership and Team Membership.

Contact us for all of the details.  The website has only basic information while we complete our upgrades.

The aircraft is currently based in Reno, NV with an alternate base of Punta Gorda, FL.  We can base the aircraft virtually anywhere.  We lock the aircraft basing based upon the vote of Renegade Team Owners.

The Piper Apache is a VERY capable and safe twin.  It is great for the entry level twin pilot OR the high time commercial pilot that simply wants and economical twin to have fun with.  This aircraft is equipped with Turbos!  She can maintain level flight at over 11,000 feet MSL!

Renegade Aviation supplies all the training so that anyone can operate this aircraft safely…

The new Team Owners will take advantage of NEW Paint, NEW Interior, NEW Avionics improvements and MORE!

We even offer financing for Team Owners, in house….SIMPLE qualification.

Come Fly Our Apache!
