Just had a rather disappointing day of aircraft hunting. Looked at a 1977 C-150. Specs and pictures convinced me to take the check book along. What transpired would be a tutorial on what not to do to a good bird. Due to illness the aircraft was quite inactive over the last three years. A little over two hours between annuals, little or none in the air, can be devastating to the health of the bird. I really did not want to pass on this bird, but the engine runup suggested real problems ahead. Aircraft was also being hangared with hardly any fuel in the tanks. Oh well, there is always tomorrow!
