US Dollar sinks to new low against Euro

One reason I prefer to own outright: The possible
partners in a glider ownership are my friends with
whom I want to fly. How do you reconcile this?

Andreas,
From my experience it think that is correct. Many is
the time I have talked
with pilots who wants to own a glider but can't afford
it. I mention a
partnership and they say ' Oh I could never be in a
partnership'

I am always tempted to ask then just what personality
defect they have that
will not allow them to get along with someone else
and share the fun and cost
of a flying machine.

Well thought out partnerships are a great way to lower
your flying costs and
have a glider of your choice to fly.
