Aircraft partnership, non flying.

The kind of plane I would love to own!

So, you're looking at this purely as an investment?

I woul like any model 747 or a 777 or a C 131. [Planes I would love to own ] . Remember a bathroom is a requirement for me.

I would skip that partnership. Seems too risky.

What ever happened to this partner option. At least you have some ability to control costs when it comes to maintenance. I would likely own an airplane now if I had my A&P. An extra has been a dream plane though. I could only handle the expenses of a light sport aircraft right now.

If you're not able to yank and bank your brains loose properly in a Extra then you might have more fun partnering up in the new Rotax 915 powered SW51...

My boss sold the aircraft through a broker. I'm glad I did not get involved. I just don't have the time or energy for that. My airplane has been down for annual for nearly 2 months now. Don't have the time or energy for that either.
