Fractional Ownership of a King Air C90 Available

Always thought owning a nice business aircraft would be nice, but it would cost too much? Or just didn't know where to start?  Maybe the board would never go for it? Tired of pushing and shoving with the airlines, and wasting all that time with connections, TSA and poor service? Lakeshore Aviation is coming down the home stretch organizing a partnership in a beautiful King Air C90 business turboprop aircraft.  Join several other owners in Northeastern Wisconsin in a 1/4 share of the most reliable, safest business turboprop available...all at a cost the board would be proud of!  Click Here for more info.
