I got my private pilots certificate back in 87 and learned to fly in the 152. N5189B to be exact. I see its in Mississippi now thanks to this site. Id love to have it! That was neat to learn its whereabouts. I flew till around 1998 or so and just kinda quit like so many others. My son who was a baby at the time is now 24 and has gotten his A&P degree and license from Spartan in Tulsa and now doing the flying portion of his corporate pilot training in Daytona Beach. Up until now, Ive only toyed with the idea of a plane for myself and have tried to justify it. In most cases I wouldnt even consider it but the airplane rental opportunities in my area are next to zero as is general aviation in general sad to say. I absolutely love the C-152 and would love to own one. I've flown 172's and Cubs but my heart is with the 152. Many of you must feel the same way. Im just trying to justify it and would like some advice on what to do, how much its costing some of you, what you would do different, would you rather own something else now,etc. I came very close to purchasing a $40,000.00 trike at Sun-N-Fun this year and then realized what a mistake that would've been when I got home. We called and got that deposit back!!
Any help anyone can be, Id truly appreciate very much. Thanks!
Billy
