It is interesting, as Mark said, how much derision the Reimagined 150/152's were subjected to at the time. Surprisingly, folks here even poked a little fun at the AOPA for their efforts. Kind of like poking fun at Mazda for building the Miata when they could be building something like a Ford F150.

Thankfully, some folks appreciate the positive attributes of our little airplanes. Small but mighty!
