That one is my Dad's. I had one similar but it was before digital cameras so the only pics I have are on paper. I think back on what I paid for that plane and what a bargain it would be now. I wish I still had it. That was a fun plane to fly.

When I lived in Cal , lo those many years ago, my best friend got his licence and went for an instructors cert. Since I lived about 2 miles from the local airport and love to flu I split the cost of flying with him so he could build up hrs in type.
To think back then you could rent a Cessna 182 for under $20 ab hr wet. THe 150 areobat was a bargain 
Altitude and airspeed, dont take off without it

My Dad used to say "Two things a pilot can't use are altitude above him and runway behind him".

Sorry I was a submarine sailor...it is easier to float up then float down if everything seems to grenade on you.
There is enough stuff out there with negative bouyancy to tempt the fates further.
