Greetings

On May 1, 1967 I flew my last pre-solo dual.
I soloed on May 2, at 10 hours, in Cessna N8624J, a brand new 150, the first
student to solo in it.
The rent was $7/hr wet.

Cheers

Passed my checkride 30 years ago, May 6, 1977. 150's were going for
$16 wet then.


Back in '76, our CAP Citabria was going for $10/hour and the L-19 Bird Dog for
$13/hour. Wet, of course.
