I guess the best of both worlds, if you could afford it, would be to
own a plane AND belong to a club so you have backup availability when
your baby is sick. We do have a few members like that.

Actually, the best of all worlds would be to have a partnership of two
pilots (or sets of pilots, as in Mary and me), each bringing an
airplane to the table.

For example, I would LOVE to partner with someone that has a Decathlon.
When he wanted to haul four people and luggage, he would have access
to Atlas -- and when we wanted to rock and roll, we'd have access to
the Decathlon. It would be perfect.

Haven't found anyone around here that wants to do that...yet.
