OK... i want to first state that this is a honest question from a new guy in the c150 world. i am new to a lot of things here in the aviation community too. i think the 150 is a great little plane for a first timer and someone who doesn't stop thinking about flying for very long during any day it seems.
why do you folks love and are so passionate about the little 150/152?
Complete maintenance manuals and parts catalogues readily available. All components -- including factory-built new engines - still readily available from numerous sources. IFR capable. Runs on autogas, if you can get it without ethanol. As previously mentioned, sips fuel, which is a huge consideration nowadays. Nice plane for low altitude, fair weather flying.
