Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Everything But Airplanes To buy or not to buy...that is the question

fantastic. I cant wait to some long cross countrys like that. I have a son in flight school in Daytona Beach so that will be a start...

I made that trip in June this year. Don't know if you were on the forum at that time. Here's the link to my trip to Page, AZ

fantastic pictures. Thats one thing Ive yet to do..Get on top of clouds. wonderful pictures.. How do you like the Low airmap 500

Ahhhhh Hung,

That was fun following your trip again. Kinda recharges the ol batteries.

I've been through the same exercise (like most everybody here) and the conclusion is simple: I (we) can not and never will be able to justify (on paper) owning a plane. It will never work out - unless you use that new math.

That being said, I can only add one thing: Who cares?

Here endith the lesson.


Jim

I took more risk than usual climbing through to the top of the clouds. But I had full fuel and the sky was clear where I took off. So I could turn back if I need to. I just had to make sure I wouldn't get disoriented. (Can an Oriental guy get disoriented? )

I like the Airmap 500 fine. Some of its process, like programming a route, takes a lot of button pushing. But it's reliable and you can't beat the price. I paid $280 new.

Hung,
Can an Oriental guy get disoriented? HA HA HA HA HA!!!! NOW THAT"S FUNNY!!!

Hung. Like Jim did, I re-read all of that whole thread and looked at every picture.

At first, it seemed like we were kinda hijacking this thread. Afterwards, though, I can't think of a better way to answer the question. "To buy or not to buy," for me, there's only one right answer. Wow Hung. What a story you told. And the pictures...thank you.

Gary. HA.. I think Im the one that started hijacking my own thread..Hey, let it go where it goes...I dont mind, its all interesting reading. I just got on here yesterday and after reading till about 2am Ive come to the conclusion you just did. I cant think of a better way to answer the question than to just get on here and read of the experiences of more experienced pilots and their 150/152's.. great observation...

Hi Billy, welcome to your club! For more stories about flying, go to http://www.cessna150-152.com/clinton2007/index.htm and check out the links to past flyins to read how folks got to & from Clinton, Iowa. Now THAT's a cross country everyone here can get behind. :-)

Everyone here loves a new 150/152 owner so don't be bashful. We want to make you one!
