It appears the process has changed some. Does this make me an old Fart? Good luck for you guys going after ratings and tailwheel sign-offs. I can't remember what the Cessna 150 rented for but the J-3 Cub set me back $5 an hour plus I had to keep it full of gas@ 21 cents a gallon. Times change. In my world here it is a real challenge to find a tailwheel airplane to rent. I bought the Luscombe for $1500 in pretty good shape, flew it 1200 hours and sold it for $2500.

From: "Jeff Boatright" I've mentioned that I've been coaching a friend and colleague in tailwheel technique in my Air Camper. He does a better job than me! So, time to let him loose! https://youtu.be/K06Vb79_GxU Also, I've been expanding my limits recently: https://youtu.be/GaFWRHrUzA0 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=442475#442475 ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 07:28:55 PM PST US From: "Dick N" Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Re: private pilot Jerry When I started flying in Jacksonville, NC. I bought a package of 35 hours in a C150 with instructor and ground school for a total of $740. Those were the days.

I started taking lessons when I was 15 from an old Navy pilot in an Aeronca 7AC. Boy could he cuss and bruised my legs many times with the stick! The plane AND instructor was $5.00 per hour, Hobbs. I worked all week, 4 hrs a day, in a bike shop for $10.00 for the week! Spent half on Saturday, saved the rest for school clothes. Took my flight test in a 172 ($10.00/hr wet) when I was about 18 or 19 (have to look that up) and passed just fine. Got married at 25 and did not fly again till about 45 when I bought a PA-12 Super Cruiser with a 150 Lycoming. Fun plane! It was stolen by two jail escapees and wrecked after one year and took three years to get repaired. Memories!
