I've had too many people try to steer me away from buying a 150/152, but it fits my mission profile and most importantly won't break the bank!
The 150/152 doesn't get a lot a respect in the aviation world, but I haven't found much I can't do with mine. Most people seem to think they are slow planes, but even when flying with mixed types of airplanes, most of the time I arrive within ten minutes of the first plane. If I am smart with my ground ops, I can beat most other planes over an hour or so flight.
It is about as inexpensive of flying as you can get, and they are easy to repair and well understood. Parts are available as are people to work on them.
Course, it may be in the 40-50k range and not in the 'under 30k' threshold.
Excuuuuuuuse me! Where are my manners?
Look, A NEW GUY!!!!
Welcome!
One other suggestion, you may want to get yourself a Trade-a-Plane subscription, online version only, for about 6 months. I believe new updates are posted every Tuesday or Wednesday at midnight so, it'll allow you to be on the cutting edge when a new listing is posted. Plus, it's easy to sort them by year/model/price, accordingly.
Found a nice '73 150L on Barnstormers 3500TT, 240TTE listed at $23,500, N18623. Can't tell if its IFR or not. Any thoughts?
As of 2007 the airplane was registered to:
Schmidt Gary L 13430 10th St S Afton , MN 55001-9762
Maybe you could give the guy a call(?) As mentioned above, Bill Warner's 152, right here in Medford, OR is one of the nicest anywhere but you WILL have to pony up a premium price for one in that class.
