one of these classmates is not like the others

Folks on the mailing list for the Sh'liach K'hilah program have been discussing travel plans for this July's session (mainly, I think, so that those who are flying can coordinate airport transport). One person posted that he'll be flying his personal plane.

His what? *boggle*

I know a number of my peers who have licenses and shares in planes...

I hadn't considered the shares option, which would make the problem much more tractable. From the comments here it seems to be fairly common (as compared to full ownership). It makes sense -- you aren't going to fly a plane nearly as often as you drive your car, most likely, so sharing can work.
