Well, how would you respond to this kind of proposal? let me know!


Negatively. While I understand your monetary dilemna, I have no
incentive for letting a high school senior, with no financial interest
in my plane, fly it. Sorry, but you asked how I would respond.

On the brighter side, you may find some owner whose plane is not
flown regularly. Surprisingly, a lot of folks work hard making the
money to afford the plane, then don't have time to fly it. Planes
that are not flown regularly begin to deteriorate. If you can find
this kind of owner, you might find someone who is receptive to your
proposal. I know a few folks that have pulled it off successfully
in the past. You will have to make the deal sound very attractive to
the time-strapped owner, so I suggest you sweeten the deal by offering
to perform some basic maintenance (oil changes, etc...) and cleaning
of the bird.

Good Luck,
