I figure if I go looking for a partner I can buy twice as much airplane

That was my thinking. The hard part is finding a partner, though.
It's got to be someone who wants the same kind of airplane as you,
wants to keep it at the same airport you do, has roughly the same
views on how it should be flown and maintained and who can meet the
financial obligations.

When I decided I wanted to own instead of rent I realized I only knew
a few people who might meet those criteria, and anyone I met in the
short term, no matter how good a fit they seemed to be, would be someone
I had just met.
