That is a beautiful aircraft. I took my first four lessons in a similar 150L, blue, black, and white, N4965V, ahhh, those were the days! I congratulate you on your purchase, and for that price not bad at all. You can't even buy a couple year old Honda for that and the Cessna is much better looking. People say you can pick up girls in luxury cars, sports cars, etc; try pulling up your Cessna in front of a club! Put them all to shame. That is really not a bad price. I look around in the local papers and classifieds for that "once in a life time" deal and normally can't find a decent 150 for less then 18k, and that is pushing it. Is it just the basic instruments? Is she IFR certified? Even if the paint is a bit rough, having a freshly re-built engine is well worth the investment. When was the last time she had an annual??? LoL, so many questions, I know, hope I don't upset you but seeing that bird brings back a lot of near and dear memories. My grandfather/mentor/instructor/life coach/role-model got me into flying at a very young age and I soled in the same 150 that he did when I turned 17. I had actually taken my last couple lessons before that in the fields Cessna 172 but I wanted to solo in the 150, plus I seem to have an aptitude for flying so as far as light aircraft go, if it has wings......I can probably get it back on the ground in one piece
Anyways, congrats again, hope to hear from you soon, and enjoy your new baby!
