Greasing the Wheels of Ownership with Internet Oil: The Aircraft Partnership Association

Tough economic times are providing great opportunities for many AVweb readers who are looking to buy an airplane. One of the most popular ownership options, of course, is a partnership.

The Aircraft Partnership Association can help, with a bevy of online resources ranging from a partnership matching service (think online dating) to spreadsheets and industry data. The APA’s David Kruger gave us the low-down on their no-cost, membership-based web site when we met with him at AOPA Expo 2008.
