Message-ID: <56@mss.UUCP> Date: Sun, 3-Nov-85 20:58:12 EST Article-I.D.: mss.56 Posted: Sun Nov 3 20:58:12 1985 Date-Received: Thu, 7-Nov-85 05:48:58 EST Distribution: net Organization: Mayfield Senior School, Pasadena, CA Lines: 16 Greetings - I am a fairly new (7/21) Private Pilot and I am looking into the possibility of purchasing a plane. At present I am leaning toward a used 172 - most of my time is in 152's so the transition would be reasonably simple. What is the best way to go about getting into small plane ownership? I will be ordering the AOPA used plane book, what other advice could the mighty net readership pass on to this novice? Are clubs a good way to go? How do you find out about same? Likewise w/partnerships. I am a teacher w/limited funds so money is definitely an object. Of course, if there is sufficient interest I will condense and post a summary. Thank you for your time and support... Cheers... Jim Jenal (aka ...!scgvaxd!mss!jpj) Mayfield Senior School ( " ...!ihnp4!mss!jpj)
