In fact, I think that's entirely missing the point of their existance. Whether it be an economical decision or the necessity of a different level of utility, they're very real. Without that "Stamp of Certification" is the only way many people will ever care to experience aviation. I'd take a PPC places I wouldn't even dream of taking my 152. It's all about the mission.

Lately I have been researching possibly acquiring an ultralight or LSA Trike for my local playing. Using the 150 for the cross country flights.................

Hhmmm - I read a future devalued fleet of trainers. Perhaps coinciding with my retirement/"iffy" medical. I'll revisit the C-162, at that time. In the meantime, the C-150 is just fine by me. And I hope Cessna steers away from that "Little Purple Pill" paint scheme.
