I owned a l966 150 for a year and half in the late l980's. We moved so I sold it. Once I got settled in my job (about 2 years) I again missed owning a 150. I could fly a Piper Warrier, but I didn't need the 4 seats that much, and photography works better in a high wing. I toyed with the possibility of going with a Piper Colt. They seem to give the 150 a "run for the money". If I hadn't had the 150 previously, I would have probably went with the Colt, but since I knew about the 150 by having had one, I went with the 150. I wanted to get one with lower hours, and a decent engine. I work my regular job to meet family obligations, and have a second job--driving school bus for activities---for my second job to pay for the plane. It is worth it.
