Jan, Wayne is usually right on with all of his posts, so I would listen to his suggestions in re a partnership.

I guess the only advice I could give you is:

1.) Try to find a person with the same "financial resources" as you.

2.) Take a look at the condition of the car he/she drives; home that he/she lives in. I should have done this more closely with my former boat partner, but didn't.

3.) Logbook hours; type of flying he/she has done in the past.

4.) Whether "scheduling" would be a problem. In my particular case, it wasn't because I was a student at the time, and used the boat mainly during the week, whereas my partner could only use it on the weekends.

Of course, all of this stuff could, and probably SHOULD, be spelled out in a Partnership Agreement (the ex-lawyer in me coming out).

But it's good to have such a document even if you never have to use it.

Good luck!
