The most talked-about airplane rental concept to come along in recent memory is officially open for business with the launch of OpenAirplane, a network of FBOs and flight schools that lets pilots receive one annual checkout and then rent airplanes at locations across the country.
Because the service is so new, OpenAirplane is limited to six partner locations at the moment, but the plan is to expand as quickly as possible to provide the maximum benefit for members seeking to utilize the Zipcar-style service.
