AOPA Pilot Magazine - May 2012 - 86

Cessna 150 There are many Cessna 150s, offered by a variety of sellers, from which to choose on the Trade-A-Plane website—even an IFR 1966 Cessna 150 for $20,000. To give you an idea of what is available, a 1972 Cessna 150 in Columbus, Ohio, was listed in Trade-A-Plane for $16,900. The owner said the interior and exterior are a seven on a scale of 10, which he considers to be “stan-

dard.” It is powered by a 100-horsepower Continental O-200 engine, and has dual radios and an intercom. The total time on the aircraft, as you might expect of this former trainer, is high at 11,728 hours. For more on the Cessna 150 and 152 (a Cessna 152 costs between $20,000 and $30,000), see “The Last Affordable Airplane” (August 2001 AOPA Pilot).
