I was somewhat intimidated by the<br />
Bonanza so I bought a Piper Archer.<br />
It was a beautiful airplane and very<br />
similar to the planes I had rented. It was<br />
well-equipped and had beautiful paint.<br />
It was also very slow, cramped, carried<br />
a very light load, lacked good climb<br />
per<strong>for</strong>mance, and needed a heavy<br />
hand on the controls. Of course I didn’t<br />
know any of this until I had my hands<br />
on the yoke of N9440Q – Andy’s V35B.<br />
Wow! What a difference.<br />
I sold the Archer and partnered with Andy.<br />
I sold the Archer and partnered with<br />
Andy. To say the partnership has been<br />
a success is an understatement. It is<br />
better than most marriages. We have a<br />
spreadsheet we keep on Google Docs<br />
<strong>for</strong> all financial related issues regarding<br />
the plane. We deposit monthly reserves<br />
based on hours flown into a common<br />
account, including contributions <strong>for</strong><br />
things like hangar fees and insurance.<br />
The year is split into 26 weeks <strong>for</strong> each<br />
of us to have “plane” priority every<br />
other week. We have never run into<br />
any schedule related problems that<br />
we couldn’t work out.<br />

The benefits of the partnership<br />
are many. The financial benefit<br />
is obvious, but not the best<br />
one. The best benefit is that there is<br />
a quiet competition about who flies<br />
more hours each year, and this really<br />
keeps us up in the air. We are based in<br />
Worcester, Massachusetts. This takes<br />
us to the obvious places like Martha’s<br />
Vineyard, Nantucket, and Block Island.<br />
Katama is another popular destina tion<br />
if you want to show up to South Beach<br />
like a rock star. Land on the grass<br />
strip, park the plane, and walk across<br />
the street to the beach. Bar Harbor,<br />
Maine, has without a doubt the best<br />
lobsters in the world. A short flight up<br />
the coastline brings me there in a onehour<br />
scenic ride. The Lobster Pound is<br />
a short walk from the airport. A V-tail<br />
in Massachusetts is such a great asset.<br />
