Thanks Mark.

It is interesting, as Mark said, how much derision the Reimagined 150/152's were subjected to at the time. Surprisingly, folks here even poked a little fun at the AOPA for their efforts. Kind of like poking fun at Mazda for building the Miata when they could be building something like a Ford F150. Thankfully, some folks appreciate the positive attributes of our little airplanes. Small but mighty!

I don't think we were making fun of AOPA for their effort to restore a 152. We were poking at them for what the buyer would get with their selling price. For that much money, a buyer is better off buying Jim's Sierra.

I agree, but there is only one Sierra and one might not be enough to go around.

When I was on the AOPA Airport Rep Committee - I asked that very question.

About three years back I believe (could be faulty memory here) the answer was:

7 x 152 (done by Aviat)
12 x 172 (done by Yingling)

The 172's were a better value proposition hence more of them reimagined.
