I now live in albany,ohio

I started my training at chanute airforce base in 1963 and soloed in just over 7 hours. It is one the best I have flown, I now have a Hi-Max with a 2 cyl Mosler engine.

Two days ago I took my granddaughter Jaydn on her first trip in our C150 C-FQVZ -in fact her second (ever) lightplane trip inasmuch as a few days earlier she had flown in C-FDGC our DeHavilland DH82C Tiger Moth. She actually handflew "Whitie" successfully for some 20 minutes without any more than verbal advice from me. The C150 is an amazing trainer when you consider that a 13 year old girl who has never even driven a car can accomplish this.
What a plane! What a granddaughter!

When I was eleven, I was starting to get into trouble, so my dad, a weatherman, took me to the airport with him. A lot of pilots took me up. Finally a flight instructor talked to my dad, and next thing I knew, I was getting flying instructions. This was the plane I learned on. It didn't have any bad habits. I still love it 52 years later.

I called my 150J, my Johnny Cash airplane. It was rebuilt out of several different years.I had to sell when the IRS needed more money than I had. :(


macc, e-mail, 02.10.2011 07:59

I learned how to fly in this airplane back in 1970, great fun, and an easy airplane to fly.


J. William Love, Jr., e-mail, 28.07.2011 11:19

I owned a 1959 150 for several years back in the 1980's. Sometimes I wish I still owned it, but since I am now 83 years of age, probably best that I do not. It was a red and white fastback with straight tail, but tricycle gear. I really enjoyed that plane, and often took friends for flights in the Houston area. Last I heard, the plane was owned by a doctor in Colorado. They seem to just keep on flying.

Thanks Rob!

Sorry I just now have gotten around to replying.

What you said about the difference between sim and stick (or yoke, whatever) time I understand.

I have now got ~500 hours sim and a measly 1 hour real time in a Liberty XL2. The instructor said that I did quite well for a first flight, which he attributed to my sim time and reading of private pilot ground school.

I guess what my question really was had more to do with the dream of learning to fly in my own airplane than much else.

The example you gave about your friend and the Aeronca is an example of why it is illegal to do that type of thing.

My last comment here used donot@call.com as my email. I have since setup a commercial mail account. If anyone wants to email me instead of posting a comment, please use Clyde in the salutation so that I know where it came from.

It is amazing how time flys by.

The C150 rented for $12/hr dual instruction, wet, in 1964. $7/hr solo & $5/hr for the instructor. This was at Hickam Areo Club on Wheeler Air Base Oahu, Hawaii. Go Navy.

I HAVE BEEN FLYING A 152 SINCE 1971 AND I STILL THINK IT IS ONE OF THE BEST PLANES EVER BUILT. I ALSO Have a partnership in a CARDINAL 180 hp. CESSNA IS STILL THE BEST BEST !!!!!!


Scott Boyd, e-mail, 31.01.2011 06:44

I flew a CAP 150 from Gunnison to Denver a number of times in the early 70's, we also had Super-Cub's and not so super-Cub's that we flew searches with on a pretty regular basis. The 182's were the best ride but the Bird-Dog was the most fun.


Rob, e-mail, 13.01.2011 21:50

A zero-time pilot? I would go to the local airport (the FBO) and talk to a CFI (instructor pilot). Years ago I had a friend buy a plane (no actual experience) and thought he could teach himself to fly an Aeronca. He couldn't and paid for it with his life. The similarity between sim time and real stick time is like the difference in having an Internet girlfriend and having a real girlfriend. Not a put down, but for a non-pilot the sim time really counts for "0". The down side is you might have developed some very bad habits: like how much time did you spend (when doing sim) looking for other aircraft in the pattern, and how many times did you have to find emergency fields when an instructor cut off your fuel on a cross-country, or a door flew open like happened on my first solo. My dad was a military instructor and always preached, "No matter what happens, fly the damn airplane first."

First solo and flight training at Wheeler AFB, Oahu. 1964


John Slaughter, e-mail, 30.11.2010 04:34

I found my log book the other day and decided to see if I could find out what happened to the 150 I soloed in. It was sad. 14 months after my last flight in the plane another pilot crashed it killing himself and his passenter. The NTSB said he "used poor judgement." I should have left my log book in storage.


don pearly, e-mail, 13.10.2010 00:55

Learned to fly in the 150 at Bakesfield Air Park in Bakersfield, California. Flew all over there then again found Cessna in hawaii and flew to and from all the islands.


Bob Pedigo, e-mail, 17.09.2010 23:57

I learned to fly in the military in the 0-1 Cessna or L-18 if you are that old. Later I bought a C-150 in Kansas and attempted to teach my wife to fly (bad decision)in anticipation of buying a Cherokee 6 to fly the entire family. The plane was so forgiving that in the Kansas southwest wind it would not stall at altitude with power off. It would sink out of the sky tail first under control but it never broke into a stall. with power on it would go straight up and then fall tail first without a stall.
For those of you who learned to fly in the 150 you should have had the fun of flying an 0-1 with a tail wheel. I saw a ground loop so severe it bent the cabin behind the door into a U and we had to pull the thing apart before we could get the student pilot out.

I forgot the "e" on the please, sorry.


David, e-mail, 06.06.2010 14:34

Does anyone have any advice on how to find the best IFR 150/152 for sale for someone with 250 hrs. SIMULATED and 0 seconds REAL time?

If you've got any pleas post it for me and any other person who might want the info if they go to this page.

Thank you!

They were a cessna dealer' and my instuter was richard colamn.one nice guy, the thing we did with the old razer bach 150 was just fun.I finaily traded my wife for a ceaana 150 I put an o-320 in it which changed it quite a bit. then I got a real airplane my 140. thank you to cessna (").


Skip Johnson, e-mail, 03.01.2010 05:12

I currently own a 1969 Aerobat with a Lycoming O-320 160hp engine and love it's performance over the standard 150. This configuration seems a vast improvement. N8407M.

Although I learned to fly on the Fleet 80 Canuck, my first solo was in the C150 -and I expect I have accumulated maybe another 2000 hrs on the C150 as an instructor over the following 50 or more years.

My sons own a C150 "Whitie" and have used it as a timebuilder to acquire over 600 hrs of experience at low cost. Whitie is a joy to fly!

Cessna was brilliant in coming out with the 150 when they did! The only mistake they ever made was changling from the straight-tail to the rear window model -it just doesn't have the same class!

It will be a long time before anything ever truly replaces the C150/C152 as a trainer of pilots -and even longer before we who learned on it forget it!

I have flown everything from supersonic fighters to WW1 biplanes -and the 150 still has a special spot in my heart!

My first solo was in the 150 in 1960 -and it was my first flight in that aircraft as well. I had been flying the Fleet Canuck and had accumulated about 6 hrs -but there wasn't one available that fateful day so we took a 150. I didn't mention that I had never been in one to the instructor.
After a couple of circuits he told me to pull over -and he got out.
I knew I shouldn't really go solo with so little type experience -but I was damned if I was going to pass up the chance!
The flight (just one more circuit) was uneventful -and I was hooked! Still flying for a living 50 years later and many many types!

I'm doing a college paper on the cessna model 150 and I need to know the fueel type, the type of stall warning indicator installed, the datum location, oil capacity and location and control surface movement for the ailerons in the up and down positions. If you could help me with this information, please reply to my email address. Thank you.
