hello all,
just became a member here, and i've started taking flying lessons.
i love it!!
i want my own airplane right now.
here is a thought!
lessons are really expensive, it hurts the wallet alot...
the cost of hiring the plane + instructor fees, really clamps down on how many lessons I can take. I’m trying to take a lesson once a week.
there has to be a better way…
your thoughts...
what about setting up a syndicate ownership of an airplane??
Maybe about 6 other beginner pilots to put in maybe $10,000 ea.
Share the maintenance, insurance, hanger costs…
Then the only other fee is the flight instructor.
Hanger costs alone are about $1500 divided by 6 syndicate members = $250ea.
Am I dreaming, or do people do this??
I would really appreciate some input and advise on this matter.
Anyone interested??
