Ok What about any 6 seater single engine Rentals In the SF BAY Area?

[JohnH]

Anyone know of any 6 seat singles available for rent in the Bay Area?

John,

I'm sure there are some out there--there must be--if you call around to the flight schools.
Sometimes you just have to go out to the fields and ask the A/Ps who may have a plane available. I once rented a T210 from an owner who only had two planes and only rented to trusted individuals. My A/P referred me to him.

Dj is right, you should hit your local airfield and ask around. Insurance being what it is,(I have a 172 on leaseback and the cost is amazing ) it must be nearly impossible to keep a six seater on the line.

What field is closest to you? You might try LVK or CCR if none are around the Bay.

I've tried both LVK and CCR. I'll keep looking though : ) Thanks for the help.

John,

There's a group out of San Jose International, a "flying club" without aircraft, but with agreements with FBO's and schools at a number of airports like RHV, SQL, HWD, etc. I sat in on one of their meetings a few months back and the were talking about the various types of aircraft they had access to. I believe that included a PA32 and either a C182 or a C210.

I'll check back in my notes when I have a few minutes in the next day or so and see if I can find the excat name of the group.
