At least you'll stay up in the air.<br><br>I guess this pretty much corners us into limited options. The first being financing - I think we'll just have to do financing, if and when we ever pick a good plane for the money. The best angle is probably going to be to start simple and just get the plane, then market it as a club to get a few more members to help pay for it.<br><br>One would think that prices would be better in the winter - but of course I've never bought an air plane before. Have we found any good planes yet?<br><br>Todd<br><br>--- On <b>Mon, 12/7/09, James Carlson <i><carlsonj@workingcode.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: James Carlson <carlsonj@workingcode.com><br>Subject: Re:<br>To: "Eagle East Flying
