If only the Reimagined 152 wasn't so, well, yellow.  The 152 above is red.......just sayin.

I read yesterday that student pilot starts were up in response to the increase in demand for pilots for commercial operations. I guess the two kind of go together.
I think it is fantastic that someone who puts so much work in restoring an airplane can be rewarded when someone else recognizes what they are looking at. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 50 Member | | Member Joined: Mar 2019 Posts: 50 | Well I think even at that price he is losing money  Must have some reason forcing sale after restoration. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 6,306 Likes: 1000 Member/5000+posts! | | Member/5000+posts! Joined: Jul 2013 Posts: 6,306 Likes: 1000 | Any idea what a reasonable service life on a Cessna 150/152 airframe? There are plenty with over 10K hours, I'm sure. Are there Cessna 150/152s with over 20K hours? 30K? Do the hours make a difference? I'm thinking a 5K hour pipeline patrol plane might be more worn out than a 10K hour personal transportation plane. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2006 Posts: 11,389 Likes: 923 Member/10,000+ posts! | | Member/10,000+ posts!

I guess so many have been wrecked and/or exported that the population has shrunk to this level.
I'm too lazy to research the authenticity of the above but if it's close to being true, the old economic law of supply and demand may be playing and ever increasing role in the value of the 152.
Just throwing this in the mix as food for thought.
