Ludwig, you've rumbled me! Organise fly-outs eh! As Bob who organised the ABAR found, months of organising just so 30+ others can join you on a flight that would take a few days to organise for yourself. Then leading the way on the rally, more time spent. But hey, it was good fun.

IO540, what is the matter with these people? The flying school I was at had the same attitude. But the new owners welcome private flyers to their fly-outs. They will not oust you from the club if you become a group member or private owner. Afterall there is no perfect aircraft, if you buy into a Pitts S1 for instance, this is useless to take a few friends anywhere. And likewise a PA28 will not perform aerobatics. So you hire the appropriate aircraft when required. You then remain a customer, buying maps, pencils, food drinks etc.. and tell new members what they could do with their new PPL.

Whirly, well done, you lead we will follow.
