A few weeks back my A&P told me about a flight school in SoCal that was looking for an IFR 152. I told him that they should look at 49l. Well they came over to L12 and had a look. Last week they came back for a quick flight. Today they came back with the money. After 20 months of ownership, 200 hours of flight time and all of the improvements I made to her, I broke even, not including hanger rent. Now I have room for the 1960 C150 project I purchased last month on Ebay. They did not perform a pre-buy, nor did they do a title search. They bought the airplane on the recommendation of my A&P who also does the wrenching on their aircraft. Will I miss her? A little. I look forward to the challenge of completing the 150 in short order and once again being able to open the hanger door, pull out the plane and go flying with a big smile on my face.
