It's a generational thing. I would wager sonyalex is younger than most of us.

Good luck with the 3-way partnership. I don't know where you live, but finding twin partners is a lot tougher than finding single partners. Also, many of us find that by the time our mission requirements call for a twin, they also call for complete availability of the aircraft. Finding out someone else has it reserved for a week to fly 1.5 hours away doesn't sit as well as it used to. It's just some food for thought.

Ur right Jim I think I am younger than most. I’m 42.
I live in a NW suburb of Chicago actually 15 minutes NW of KPWK.
One of my partners still wants to continue to be partners if we go ahead with a twin in the future he doesn’t want to own it alone.
Ur right about mission req. I’m @ the point where I do want 2 own something all by myself. Especially In a couple of yrs where I’m going to have more free time. I believe I will travel more not to mention possibly spending more time in AZ.
So far it hasn’t been an issue but I believe it may in the future.
The thing w/my partner is he has a summer home in Door County, that 1.5 hour trip u talk about and mine in AZ 4 the winter. That does help a little I guess.

Now that the economy has plagued the piston twins you should be able to buy a nice 337 for 1/3 share of a Cirrus. Own it yourself and use when you need it. That way you know who flew it last and what condition it is flown. No questions. Happy pilot.

My wife's office is in Buffalo Grove. Sounds like you might be close by.......

It will probably more then likely be on my own.

I am very close to her office. If u were to drive 7 minutes west up Lake Cook Rd u hit the suburb of Deer Park that's where I live. I'm walking distance to the Deer Park mall I'm sure she is familiar w/the location.

If your ever in the area we can meet if u like. There r a number of places to grab a bite in Deer Park.
