Maybe not. I do know that some of the Barnstormer ads mention log books all the way back to manufacture. I just wanted to make sure that everyone knows that I don't have that.

I should have deferred to Mr. Harbour to answer for his plane. I noticed on both of my planes the engine log is for the installed engine, and I have no log for the previous engines.

I updated the airframe and engine times and compressions above.

When an engine is removed for replacement the log for that engine stays with that engine and the replacement engine has it's own logbook.
An easy way to check if the original engine is still installed is to see if the first thing in the engine log says anything about an overhaul, removed from or installed on the air frame. Removal and installation may or may not be in the engine book however, the air frame log should show the installation of an engine with serial number xxxxx.

Hi Bill. You might want to list is over on the Cessna 150/152 Group on Facebook. There are frequently folks there looking for a 150.

How is the search for a C-172 going?

I will do that Stacey!

Well...the search isn’t going that good. 172’s are so much more pricey than a similar Cherokee. My wife doesn’t like Cherokees because of the one door...and they fly with a nose high attitude...she’s short...which impedes her view. A friend at our airport has a gorgeous Cheetah for sale at a great price, but I really have to sell the 150 first before I can do anything.

I guess there's a reason 172 are pricier than Cherokees! I much prefer them. I really don't like the single door on a lot of Pipers and mostly prefer high wing planes for the kind of sightseeing flights I do.

I don't have ownership experience with a Cheetah, but Cheetahs and Tigers are very fun to fly. I picked up one of the last AA-5B Tigers (180 HP vs the Cheetah's 150 HP) made at the factory back in 1981. I think it had been left over after they stopped production. I'd prefer one over a Cherokee.

Look at the older straight tail 172's. They are generally priced more reasonably and they fly great.

Bill, here is an example of a 172 out this way that could be interesting. A long ways though.
