What may work best for you is to form a partnership with one or two
others and jointly own the airplane. The fixed costs, like
insurance, get spread, and if the airplane gets used 200 or 300
hours a year its availability will not be an important issue,
either. 200 hours a year is about 4 hours a week -- one or two days
a week at most.

The insurance will be based on the
least-experienced/fewest-annual-hours member of the partnership, so
he may have a hard time finding a group unless he's willing to pick
up the bulk of the insurance tab. That seems to be his main issue.

I like the suggestion. I'm figuring that since Columbia's are rarely
offered for rent, I could charge top dollar. As for the insurance,
would each pilot have to be named on the policy? If I require them to
have renters insurance, how would that effect my policy?
