I started looking for another plane in January 2020 and finally found/bought "the plane" for me early March of this year. I'd previously owned 2 150's, a 68 H model and a 66 F model and had an idea of what I wanted, this time. I looked and researched a lot of planes during my hunt to include 150's, 152's, and early 172's. Some were good but most were, imo, questionable. As it became more and more a "sellers market", it seemed the good pool was drying up and as Stacey stated, lots of hangar queens came to market. I was lucky on 05U, a 150D/150 and it was well worth the wait. I'm making a few upgrades to change it from "the airplane" to "my airplane" and enjoying the process. So, I said that to say this; keep looking/researching/asking questions/reviewing data, as the right plane for you will come along. Set your criteria but be able to change, as needed. Also, continue to use this club as an invaluable resource. 05U would not be in the hangar at KMEI without help from the club members, especially; Jim Hillabrand, David Rowland, and Gary Shreve. Thanks y'all.
