He flies 300 hours a year. At $17,500/hr, that's $400K per year of FET. Avoiding FET on half the flights would be $200K per year. Flying under Part 135 (and therefore incurring FET) better ensures full deductibility of the depreciation, which is big $. So for a small amount of FET, we solidify our position. But we will show example transactions with numbers as you suggest. From: jeffrey E. [mailto:jeevacation@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, August 21, 2017 2:23 PM To: Barry J.
