Ejection Handle Pulled
Hi all,
I am hoping to buy my dream plane soon, a T-6 Texan, but at this point in my life, it would be better suited for me to have a partner. Mainly because I won't be able to fly it enough hours due to work schedule, but also because I don't have tons of TW time and getting insurance might be challenging. I haven't done research on that yet, but I know a couple brokers who specialize in Warbirds.
Do you think it would be worthwhile for me to send letters to current T-6 owners introducing myself and asking if any have an interest in having a partner? I have sent letters/flyers out when looking for real estate investments, but have not heard it done with airplanes. I am a NATA member, so I have a Directory and can see over a hundred T-6 owners in U.S. that could potentially be interested. In the long term, I would likely want to buy them out when they no longer can fly or want out. Has anyone done this kind of thing or is a waste of time?
Thanks,
Austin
