No Airplane

I haven't posted here in a while.
Probably because I sold my airplane and lack the motivation...

I didn't sell because fuel prices have gotten to be outrageous. We had an unexpected expense replacing a vehicle, thanks to a teenager who appears to be following very closely in his old mans footsteps, and selling the airplane to avoid a car payment seemed like the logical solution (especially to my wife who has never been supportive of the airplane).

Recently I found a couple projects that I thought might work out but decided it would be better to just buy one already flying. The idea of rebuilding an airplane seemed like something I wanted to do until I recalled restoring cars years ago. Cars were a pain. I can only imagine how bad the airplane would be.

I am considering a partnership this time around. I have never had a partner in airplane ownership but I think it could work out. I think no more than three in the partnership would be best. That way expenses can be low and there wont be alot of scheduling problems. The agreement will have to be put on paper before the purchase so we all know what to expect from the deal.

In the mean time, I am still searching for the next deal....
