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.




That's about the time I did the same, 9 hrs, C-150 N8722G..
Flew out of the now defunct Fairfax airport in Kansas City, Kansas,
presently a GM assembley plant..
Seem to remember dual was $15/hr.



In 1970 I soloed from Hillside Airport, south of KCMO. $9.00/hr wet
for a C-150. I got my commercial in ~1973 at the Johnson County
Airport (now Executive) with the Johnson Co community college. C-172
were $16.00 hr wet and the instructors were salaried, so there were
no per hour instructor charges. And I used to fill my '67 Buick
Wildcat (430 CID) with premium at $0.19/gal.

We used to go to Johnson Co. for touch & goes if Fairfax was busy - made my
all time worst landing there with my CFI practicing full flap short field
and bounced up so high I just hit the throttle for a go around. Really made
me a believer of the 150's main gear! d:-))
