You are exactly right. I'm betting not a charter but perhaps a partial ownership. What usually happens is a person buys a plane, and then they sell fractional ownership of the plane. With that fractional ownership, you can reserve the plane for your flights from almost any airport. Think of the traditional timeshare....but a plane. It's definitely more expensive than a traditional commercial flight as you buy your fraction of the plane and then pay for the fuel/fees/etc for your flight. In addition, there are reoccurring fees whether you use the aircraft or not as it has to be stored, maintained, etc. Some even have a fee to cover a "standby fee" for a pilot. If you don't pre-schedule XX number of days out you may not have a pilot so this fee ensures one is available.

Very expensive and the convenience of Leesburg is far outweighed by the reoccurring costs. I'll wager she is looking for more fractional owners to help drive the cost down.
