I have decided to sell my beloved Cessna 150L, 70G, to move up to a machine which will move me a little faster and with more comfort and style. More on that later

I have owned 70G for just over 10 years now and she has been a wonderful companion and experience maker. Since joining this club I have met many wonderful new folks and made many lasting friends. This is what its ALL about for me in aviation.

70G is not a perfect machine(few are!), but its a really nice example of a Cessna 150. I have had little trouble with her over the years and after putting almost 1000 hours on her lovely airframe its time to part with her.

Im asking a fair bit of money for a 150 with her hours, but folks who have seen this bird will likely vouch for her pedigree and condition. I have done quite a few mods to her over the years and I try hard to stay on top of all those little things that crop up every 50-100 hours or so. She gets a steady diet of care and feeding and she flies very regularly. I try hard to put an hour or 2 on her every 2 weeks or so. Its good for the motor!

You can follow the link below to a few pics and a spec sheet for a few of the details. I have all the logs since day one. Her last OH was a field overhauled motor which was hung on her in the late 90's. I have had FEW issues with the engine. Its running well with good compression's.

Its a tough thing for me to do. Its the first aircraft I have ever owned on my own and its a very easy thing to jump in and just go when I want to.

I'm asking 28,500$ for her and there is a bit of wiggle room in that price, but not a lot. I am fairly sure once someone LOOKs at it I could probably get more. I am announcing this here FIRST and will keep her off the main sites for probably several months. I DO NOT NEED TO SELL, but it just makes good sense to part with her at this stage. I do not have the space nor the time to own two airplanes!

One of the few 150s I wouldn’t hesitate to buy sight unseen.

And, having seen it in person, it’s that much better!

An F/A-18 ?

Really nice, Jim! I'll bet her new owner will find you soon .

Agreed. One of the nicest, well cared for 150's on the planet....literally.


I hope it stays in the family.



Jim

Appreciate the compliments! Starting here so it has a better chance of that Jim! If I do sell it elsewhere I will be pushing the club very hard. This place has been wonderful and I do not plan on being a stranger

He also said comfort!

How uncomfortable could you get in the time it takes to go anywhere at that speed!!

Beautiful plane! Question: Will the faster and more stylish ship continue being a swamper? Goes without saying??

Regards

I know some can't so this but keeping the 150 might save you some money. Getting a faster cruiser plane is good for trips and serious travel, but keeping your 150 for fun flying and local areas is my idea of the real joy of flying. I used to have a Experimental Wittman Tailwind for x-countries and trips, but also had a single place VW powered plane for local fun flying. My overall cost per hour was lower since I flew the Green Hornet VW one quite a bit. It burned about 3 gph versus over 7 gph in the Tailwind. Two airplanes are in my opinion a good idea. How many cars do many own.
