Partnership?


BINGO! If you (solely) own and fly a C-172/Warrior class of airplane about
75 hrs/year, your total cost of owning and flying a C-206/Cherokee Six class
of airplane in a 3-way co-ownership would probably be less than you
currently spend. Difference in availability would probably be
insignificant.

There are few things as frustrating as owning an airplane and not flying it
because it doesn't meet your needs in terms of payload, performance, or
equipment. Better to figure out what you need (to accommodate the vast
majority of your mission profiles) and then calculate how many co-owners you
need to make it financially practical. That is the basis of the success of
fractional ownership programs for high performance aircraft.
