How about the International L-Bird Association? L-4's, L-5's ... = cheap to own, fun to fly, and a good place to start. With the money we pool from group would be enough to fund 2-3 airplanes in the U.S. and England. A similar club exists here in Ohio...with a $3,000 dollar investment you can share interest in a Piper J-3...the last time I checked (been a couple years) it worked out to about $15 per hour wet, scheduled week to week..its probably about $25 an hour now... woo hoo. I think they limit themselves to 15 shareholders. But, depending on our group size and commitment the sky is the limit with for future investment in T-6's or even a Chippie. Recoveries could be in the long term and the bug smashers will get us in the air the quickest. I like this idea!!
