It is owned by club member Garbis Mahmouzian of East Hampton, NY. I spoke to Garbis at length about the airplane. It appears to be a much better than average 152, and Garbis impressed me as an intelligent and reasonable seller. He is negotiating to buy a C180 on floats, and is a little reluctant to let the 152 go, but knows he must. Garbis fears seeing the airplane go to a flight school for a hard life, and really hopes a private owner will appreciate the airplane instead. He is asking $29,500, but told me I could reveal here in the forum that he would sell it to a club member for $28K. If you are looking for a nice 152, be sure to give this one a look. http://71.148.0.203/Cessna/cls/FMPro?-db=web%5fclass.fp3&-format=p%5fdetail.htm&-lay=p%5fdetail&-sortfield=Year&-sortfield=StateDisplay&-sortfield=Price%20Display&Type=For%20Sale%3a&-op=cn&Title=1&-op=gte&Price%20calc=0&-op=lte&Price%20calc=99,000&-max=20&-recid=39208&-find=

Brings back such fond memories.  Jim

Never run out of altitude, airspeed, and ideas at the same time.

Drool!
Oh well, too late for me. I've sunk $50K+ over the years into my 42-year-old C-150H, and I'm still not done.
Maybe Damon Brantly -- the guy who's mechanic told him to scrap his C-152 -- should buy this one and save himself a lot of work and money. This looks like a turn-key airplane. | | |
