The amount of planning you already need to do to fly a plane makes shared ownership of a plane makes sense.

And to be fair, a lot of the clubs will do shared ownership of a fleet of planes. Not just one.

Yeah, and over time the significant costs of plane ownership are directly tied to "runtime" on the engine - so a plane that's not being "rented" doesn't cost a ton to keep on the flight-line.
