Hello all,
Even though I fly for a paycheck, I'd really like to get back into GA again. Was thinking about heading to the Aero Club on base and just renting one of their five 172s (I'm stationed at Charleston AFB, SC), and may still do that if other options don't turn up. However, I think I have a better idea if it is doable.
Owning my own airplane would be the ultimate goal but its just not in the cards financially right now. A partnership would be the next best thing, but being in the military means moving often, and I can see that being problematic. I don't really want to own an airplane that is located in my previous location once I've moved to another.
Here's where you all come in. Is renting/leasing an RV even possible? It's been a while since I've had to recall the regs about that (most of my aviation brain section is busy trying to remember all the AF rules), but for some reason I'm thinking an airplane for rent has to be certified.
If I could find someone (hint hint to anyone interested) willing to let me fly their "experimental" airplane, is renting it an option? Any experience with this would be great. Thanks in advance for the help.
