Been lurking a long time, finally registered. I've been flying since '01, PP-ASEL and hoping to finally get off my butt and get IR finished this winter and Commercial next summer. I am one of 10 partners in a 172M with 180 HP engine, based at WVI. Deputy Sheriff since 1988 - patrol (field training officer), firearms instructor, and pilot on our slowly growing air support unit (collateral duty - fixed wing). I have just over 300 hours logged.

Thanks for having this board.

Welcome ateamer, its good to have another LEO here on the forum.
 
Welcome to the blue board!

Question, how many scheduling conflicts do you run into with 10 guys and one plane? Is it better than it was when you were renting? That seems like an ultra-affordable partnership.
 
Welcome aboard! Do you know Will Hawkins? He has an Arrow III based at WVI and does a great podcast.

If he's lucky, it's like our 12.5 member per airplane club - I've missed an opportunity to go flying because I couldn't get an airplane once or twice in the past 7 years. :P If he's not lucky... :(
