                             1977 Cessna C-177B                                

                                                                               

    We have one share available in a Cessna Cardinal based at Fitchburg.  
    The partnership operates as Cardinal Flyers, Inc and has
    been in existence for many  years.  The number of partners is
    limited to 5.  Bill Tarmey (former Digital Employee and flying noter)
    will be relocating and is looking to sell his share.  Three of the
    current partners work at Digital (Don House, Tony Basso, Ray Shoop). The
    airplane is generally flown between 200-220 hrs per year.  Dues are $95
    per month to cover insurance, most maintenance, and hanger. Members are
    charged $40/hr wet for flying.

    The type of partner we are looking for is an experienced pilot who
    plans on flying 30-70 hrs per year.
