Re: DA40NG Partnership Opportunity in Orlando FL (KORL)

Jay, how well this will work depends on several considerations. How the flying club plans to use the airplane . Will it be used primarily for club member training (primary, instrument, commercial), or is it "reserved" for cross-country travel? Mixing the two will favor the training mission...

Re: Economics of keeping plane in a hangar
