While 75 to 80 percent of today's co-owners of jets are businesses or corporations, Mike Rose of Business Jet Solutions in Dallas says many are being used for fun. "This time of year we have traffic going in and out of Aspen and Vail constantly," says Rose. "Of our 40 jets, I'm seeing five or 10 trips a week to Palm Beach." Statistics show that 80 percent of the part-owners are first-time buyers of airplanes. With that indicating a large new market opening up, some aircraft manufacturers are hustling to get in the game. Rob Gillespie, president of Jet Solutions, sees a big potential market.

He says there are 125,000 companies earning more than $10 million a year that could afford at least a share of a jet. At Jet Solutions, the cost of a one-eighth share of a plane 100 hours ranges from $773,000 for the smaller Learjet One-Stop Beach Vacations at Low Spring Rates grounded, can't hop in the company Jet to pop down to Palm Beach. Or maybe you're one of those folks like PGA golfer Payne Stewart or Met tenor Placldo Domingo whose lucrative work takes them hither and yon. Perhaps your new business Is really starting to sizzle and you need a way to move your people back and forth across the country in a hurry, but there's no room in the budget for a private jet. Think share-a-jet.

Buy a piece of a plane, not unlike buying a time-share in a resort condominium. The difference is you're guaranteed use of a plane 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, with just a few hours advance notice.
