Line Up and Wait
I just got back from delivering an older 150 to FL. I had the trip planned for stopping at cheap fuel stops. $3.65 or less. It did not turn out as planned. we did not make the first stop and had to stop at a small airfield. No card reader so we waited for someone to show up. $5.00 a gallon and he charged us two more gallons than we got.
Second stop (We should have stopped at the one I had planned and topped it off) over $5.00 again. We stopped at Bowling Green for the night and paid over $5.00 but that does not count because they comp'ed us a room. Fourth stop $.97 or so. Finally on the last stop before we arrived I hit one of my planned stops $3.65.
Although the plane was an older plane it was a joy to fly down there. It would fly hands off for the most part. We burned 1 quart of oil 16 hrs. The airspeed indicator had some problems but for the most part everything worked great. the owner lives near Flagler Beach and may be looking to get a partner, sell or rent it out. I do not have any pictures but it is a nice looking plane inside and out. Well worth the $16,000.00 he is asking.
