How Much Does A Helicopter Cost?


Recommended Posts

Used, half a mil +/-
I just flew in a Bell Jet Long Ranger and I had to scrunch in my rear facing seat because there is no head room at all.It is my dream to buy a Robinson R44, which runs about $400K new.Seats 4, then I will hire myself out to be a tuna spotter. I don't even care if I make money, as long as I get to fly around all day at the beach.A friend took me up in one and I loved it. First thing to do when I sell the business and have some time is get my rotorcraft rating.

The fuel costs will probably kill you. Just out of curiousity, I wonder what the typical yearly maintenance costs etc. are for something like this.
