A flying club is an option, but you don't have any control over some important variables like, who is doing the maintenance? how are other pilots operating the aircraft? This is where a partnership is maybe a better option. You and your other partners can control these factors. You also need to determine what your budget is. If you can't justify at least $500/mo. with three partners ($2,000 total budget), then maybe going to the airport and watching the airplanes or hopping a ride and sharing some expenses is for you. With a partnership there are some pitfalls though, you have to find partners with similar interests, and one's that are very patient. Airplanes are frustrating some times and are money pits. Partners can sometimes turn against each other, so pick your partners carefully. Hope this helps.
