In general, how do aircraft partnerships work? Do partnerships exist
for singles? Are they a good idea vs. purchasing a used aircraft
outright? What about flying clubs - do they typically offer good
multi-day rental rates or have aircraft available for scheduled use?

Simplistically, you can get a feel for it by understanding this:

1 = low 10= high

Operating costs (hourly and monthly)
==================
Owning: 10
Partnership: 7
Flying Club: 3


Aircraft Availability:
======================
Owning: 10
Partnership: 6
Flying Club: 3


Difficulty in reaching consensus in upgrading aircraft (avionics, interior,
etc):
=============================================
Owning: 2 (depending on wife)
Partnership: 6
Flying Club: 10


Politics:
=================
Owning: 1
Partnership: 5
Flying Club: 8
