It is such a shame that seemingly so few pilots put any value on the advantages of owning a share in an aeroplane, no matter what it is and what you use it for.
It is such a great way to get around and put some affordable consolidation in your logbook post flight test for example - if you are after more hours. Or simply a great way to see the country and enjoy the priviledges of your PPL, in the knowledge that you are saving huge amounts of money by not hiring aeroclub planes.
I just can't believe how few syndicates there are around. It appears to be more a thing for older pilots whom are doing it for the fun of it, whereas the younger more serious flyers are far too busy trying to get a job in industry while over looking a great opportunity to team up and get a plane between a small group. Instead of wasting money doing your MEIR while doing your CPL, use that money to buy a tidy Cub or 172. Pay half the hourly rate you pay at an aeroclub, build up the kitty by flying it, take friends up, see the country, and above all, ENJOY yourself.
