Yeah... but that's still a bit less than half of a new Skycatcher. Looks like the rule of thumb is about right - half the price is liability insurance... the other half is inflation.

MM Everything is relative, Mike. Median family income in 1960 was $5,620. In terms of income distribution in the country, 36.1 percent of families had incomes below $5,000, while 18.9 percent had incomes under $3,000. RC Keystone Flight East Coast Outkast [Linked Image]

G Waddington Member/500+posts G Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 674 Middle Tennessee	The Cessna 150/152 represents one of the best buys in General Aviation today. We may not be the first to arrive, but we get there. With the mogas STC the cost of operation stays manageable for local flights. Bought right, the bird can be obtained to get the private license and sold for about the price paid for it. That said a friend bought a "150" to get his license. After he got his private he bought a RV-6. He refuses to sell the C-150 and flys it as much as the RV-6!
