When a bird strike comes from the rear you know you're in a Cessna 150

I love my 150. It's a 1966 and will actually do 100 knots. My last 1966 150 which was totaled in hurricane Irma was so much slower -- it lived outside in a tie down and a rope broke during the storm causing the prop to touch the ground. Both were equipped with long range tanks.

Great video! I started my lessons on the 150 and have a huge soft spot for them, after a decade long gap I'm looking at restarting but the school has gone and the new one uses PA38s, still I am sure those are good too :)

I just got into a partnership in a 150. This pretty much tracks! Great job!

Good stuff! 150/152 is my favorite plane to fly because it is so much fun to fly, very light-footed!

The 150 I flew had its transponder fluctuating, the VOR would fluctuate, the wings had dents, and the door would open in-flight. Oh and I also used this to take my private pilot exam. Fun times :)

First video of yours I've seen, got me to laugh in the first 20 seconds. Instant sub.

Bought my 150 love this video! Best parts of your videos are the price breakdown at the end of each video cost to operate per 50/100/200 hrs a year.

Had my 150 for 5 years and never once regretted it. A great and affordable plane!

Great video! All true. We've had a 1964 C150, now a 1968 C150H. We've had a Cherokee 180, and a Tripacer, but even though its a tight fit at 6'5", the 150 remains my overall favorite.

This content definitely helps me plan for the future, thanks a ton! I’m debating on the Vans RV4 and the Sonex/Waiex after doing much research, I need to do more from here though!

I remember reading that the 150 was a 140 with a nose gear and without the 2 little windows above the cabin. It had 10 horsepower on the 140, but the nose gear drag caused it to be about 3 kts. slower.

Thanks a lot! Great informative video. I like your humor also :)

I've seen lots of them in hangars. A club I'm a member of stores its 150s in hangars. And the largest plane rental here near Helsinki has a fleet of mostly 150s and the French license-built 150s, all in hangars. That may have to do with the harsh Finnish winters though.

Cruise and climb is definitely on the hopeful lend of the spectrum. Especially cruise. I love flying these planes, but not for long distances. They are my favorite for flying 3 to 6 feet over the riverbed because of their slow speed, predictability and controllability.

This is a great Video everything is easily broken down and easily understood

Great Video !!!

Great video with similar numbers to my Grumman AA1B. I cruise @ 100kts burning 5.5 USG/HR working out to approximately $50 CDN per hour/Insurance $120 CDN a month/Parking 120 CDN a month. Maintenance is the 'I gotcha' and always an unknown. My last 2 annuals have been expensive due to some engine work but otherwise, the costs are reasonable. My goal is to fly 75-100 hrs a year and average around 90 a year so far.

Nice simple video, thanks.

Owning and initially training in a 150 was awesome. I sold it because I wanted to go farther, faster and carry more. That was only 3 years ago. I wish I would have kept it 100x over!

Learned to fly on a 1970 and 1972 . Loved em , but if I was seriously thinking about buying a 172

If want to get your private pilot’s license and you aren’t a big person, buying a 150 is the cheapest way to go!! Hire a flight instructor. 5gal an hour fuel burn. Lot cheaper than renting and when you solo you can fly the hell out of it (I put 215 hrs the first year I had mine). owned one for 11years. For fuel and instructor I spent less than $1500 to get my private pilot back in “05”. Do a pre buy with someone you trust before purchasing one.

I remember that growing up my parents ministry was to buy a Cessna 150, attach a P.A. system to it, and preach the gospel to small, remote mountain towns threw out South America while circling in a slow orbit. After about 18 years of trying to raise the money M&D finally gave it up and went into business for themselves.

I have a Cessna 150J, and I keep mine in a hangar!

My uncle took me out in his 150 when i was 16. We went up to 5,000 ft, let me do a few turns. RiP uncle David, it was a highlight of my life

85 kts and 500 fpm climb were more typical for the several 150’s I had flown. Shoulder room is tight with 2 people, and I had to scrunch down to look out the side window, as the wing root is right at eye level. I preferred the 172......

Me and my dad have been working on planes for years out of Alaska and the 150-180s are some of the most common planes we've worked on. Im a bit of a bigger guy, so the 150 is pretty uncomfortable. So if your like me, I would suggest something like a 172 as its a bit bigger and more comfortable, but for obvious reasons its also more expensive. Airplanes are an expensive hobby! If your just starting, Cessna's are an amazing (and safe!) option. I might also add that they are cheap and easy to work on, but most pilots aren't mechanics so thats a moot point. But as always, don't cheap out! I can't tell you how many times I've heard storys of guys who die because their instruments weren't working or that their engine crapped out mid flight. Be safe, and follow procedure! It may seem like a lot, because it is, but the FAA's regulations have saved a lot of lives, even if its made both pilots and mechanics lives living hells.

You can find C150s/C152s in hangars in Europe pretty often. But i guess the reason is that we don't have a lot of airplanes in the general, comparing to the US

I used to rent 150-152’s for about $14/hour wet at Lindbergh Field in San Diego.
