the c-152 seems like a pretty sensible way to get into my first
airplane. the way i see the g.a. business overall, especially with the
feds helping so many people decide that commercial flight just ain't
worth the trouble, a good condition c-152 should at least hold it's
value (adjusted for engine-time) and may actually appreciate in the
future. there's parts & mechanics everywhere you land . i'm just
getting started thinking about buying so my mind isn't anywhere near
made up but that's what seems to be the best idea at the moment.

i'm certainly open for suggestions. probably months away but certainly
not a year.

There's not a thing wrong with a C-152; if you are going to be flying alone
or with an occasional passenger, it's the perfect plane for you. It's
almost idiotproof, has very gentle stall characteristics, sips fuel at a
modest 8-9 gph, is a proven design and can be bought for a song in
comparison to other aircraft.

I hope to purchase a C-150 in 2006 because that's all the airplane that I
need - anything more is a waste of money in my opinion.
