I don't want any part of an airplane but I'd really like my son to get back to flying, it's about the best carrot I'v got when it comes to his (crappy) grades!!! Anybody out there with a 172 able and willing to help? I suppose a 150/152 would work as well.
Thanks!
172’s are relatively low cost. A partnership in a good one might turn out to be your lowest cost option. Keep in mind that other than hours on the motor a 172 is not going to depreciate much if at all.
