I'm neutral on the topic of glass vs. analog. I fly both on a regular basis, and I don't really have a preference.

Denver Gobosh partnership

I've got a 2008 Gobosh 700S with just over 300 hours, and I'm looking for four individuals to form a partnership. Each quarter share would cost $30k.

Any interested parties can contact me directly.

Cheers,
Chris
