One thing I wonder about...how do you guys get the capital to buy a
plane for a new club?
I always thought that a club was good for the folks who can't afford to
own, but don't want to depend on renting schedules.

The clubs I know about that own planes have all been around for a very long
time. I don't know how you'd get one started. Borrow, I suppose.

The club I know best leases its planes from individual owners who are also club
members. Seems to work out OK. I was an owner of one of the club planes for a while.
