I would like to get others ideas in regards to if I should do a lease-back
at my local FBO, or take on 4 to 9 other partners.. I will be going to the
Rochester fly in next month (http://www.rochesterwings.com) and hope to
solidify a deal with Cirrus..

Dennis, no comment on the Cirrus, but I want to mention that I am
planning on attending the Rochester Wings event, too (barring weather,
maintenance, or health issues). See you there.

My $.02: First time: find an existing club/partnership. Rarely does
single ownership work -- the plane doesn't fly enough. Easier to find
an existing arrangement to buy into than to create one. You probably
won't get the exact kind of plane you think you want, but the
experience will be educational.

You hit the nail on that one.. I bought a 1981 Beechcraft 77 Skipper just
over 2 years ago and hardly get to fly it. Put 63 hours on it last year and
20 of those were friends using it.

Its inexpensive to own a Skipper, but I can see your point clearly..
Hanger, insurance, maintenence, etc.. Its a bit much when you don't fly it
enough.

Great! You'll have to look me up while there! I'll be the one with
"MyAirplane.com" on his shirt.. (well, one of them anyway). We may get a
booth, its up in the air right now (and only 2 weeks untillt he show).

Will you be staying over the 2 days? Wondering what camping would be like
on that field... or if its even allowed.

I'll be looking for the shirt, as I am very familiar with your excellent
website.

No, I am only attending on Saturday, unless the weather is really bad
Saturday but nice on Sunday. Since I am flying in from Syracuse, a mere 40
minute flight away, I am did not have plans to stay there.

I strongly doubt that camping would be allowed on the airport grounds.
Maybe someday this will be the Oshkosh of the Northeast, but for now the
event is still in its infancy.
