Thats kinda what I was thinking actually. Don't mind paying a more than fair rate for access either. Maybe 5hrs a month is all I am looking for.

Thanks @LANCECASPER I did take a look back at the insurance quotes from a few months ago and it looks like I can get insurance, just need 10 hrs in the mooney before solo and 20hrs TT for the named requirement. Of course that doesn't satisfy the open part of the policy which mine was 300tt, 100 retract, and 20 type. I could imagine it is similar for an owner as well. I'm finding it is rather difficult to get complex or high performance training around dfw unless I go to a flight school and then I'm looking at $250 wet with instructor from the places I have looked into. Any ideas on how else I can do it?

Hey all, first post after creeping for years. I was wanting to garner a few opinions as to the availability of aircraft that aren't owned by me. I do not have a mooney but there will be one in my future. I am at 110hrs currently and I would like to get up in the air a little more than what I am doing at the moment. I am part of a flight club but they do not have what I am looking for in aircraft selection and its getting a little crowded to boot. I was wondering if anyone in or around Fort Worth may be interested in renting their aircraft. I know its not something many owners are particularly interested especially since I do need transition training and endorsements (I have instructors for that). Ideally I would like to find someone that has a bird which is being underutilized that I could have access to. After that initial transition training I would like to fly maybe just a few hours a month here and there, mainly just to go up in general for a few hours or with family and friends without having to schedule 3 weeks out and hope the plane isn't down for maintenance or pray the weather is good at that time. I am not looking for a partnership as I am starting a commercial pilot course in August, gotta make the VA pay for something ;-). I also have my own insurance which I will update. I've been around aviation for many years and have owned, maintained and restored multiple aircraft so I know my way around them. If anyone knows anyone or can offer some insights that would be super cool.
