Very interesting discussion ....
I know there are fractional ownerships available for corporate jets which include storage, maintenance, etc.. but these were for 8-10 seaters and cost a ton of money to operate - but, of course, I assume you are not looking to drop a few million in a partnership and get a maintenance/hangar bill for a few hundred grand a year.
I used one for years when I worked in oil/gas and it was great to be able to be in/out of a few cities in a day for meetings.
so ......... I have to wonder .........If something exists for prop jobs and you don't necessarily need a pilot. Fractional ownership might be a nice way to get a little more plane for your money and reduce the overall operating/maint. costs.
Your biggest stumbling block is going to be finding a plane with the range (for a decent price) if your plan is to go from Lloyd to Rupert in one jump for a decent price - that's a long ways for a small economical prop job.
