Well, In my origional post I did express a preferance for a non-capital group.
I don't know of many clubs that would be happy for me to take one of their aircraft away for a couple of days...or even a whole day for that matter.
So the reasons I want a group:
- availability tends to be better than a club
- the aircraft can be taken away for a few days
- the aircraft are usually very well looked after and are not slammed into the runway 15 times a day by ham-fisted student pilots.
