I'm really new to all this aviation stuff. I've only had my PPL 3 months and my 150 just a few months longer than that. I was kind of sad reading through all the posts and seeing the pictures of the plane. It felt like someone had died. But then I remembered my son is the recipient of a heart transplant. So, it's good.
Regina, it is kind of sad to know there is one less in the fleet, but the parts are going to good homes. I most likely will not have a moment of silence before I take the remains to the scrap yard, but it will still feel a little weird.
You say you are new to flying, there is a lesson about scud running from this. The pilot said the engine quit, so he landed on the road. The wing clipped the Speed 35 sign, and it ended like this. The engine ran fine on the ground for the NTSB. Carb ice maybe? Very few options when you have trouble and are this low.
1. How are the doors? Pilot and Passenger? I wonder if the doors on a C-150L would fit on a C-150H?
2. What kind of landing gear does it have? What condition? Bent or in good condition? Flat metal spring? I wonder if the landing gear on a C-150L would fit on a C-150H?
