How about an update on the plane - TT, how has it been going? etc.

Also how has the partnership worked out? Are you finding that you get spots easily to fly or is it a bit restrictive?

I dont mean to pry, simply would like to hear toe positives and negatives of this whole approach to aircraft ownership.
Still going strong !!! :smt023
