Bargain Buys on AircraftForSale: 1969 Cessna 150K

Many 150s have been used and abused as trainers for decades upon decades, so it can be difficult to find clean, low-time examples. Fortunately, today’s bargain is precisely that, with only 2,370 hours total time on the airframe, and it can be yours on Aircraft For Sale for a reasonable $44,900.

Despite the 150's popularity, those in this condition don’t appear every day. This example received a sharp repaint in 2015, an improvement that can easily cost $25,000—or half the asking price of this entire airplane. The rudder, elevators, and wingtips sport a cheerful checkered pattern reminiscent of the 150 Aerobat.

In addition to a relatively recent repaint and low airframe total time, this 150 also includes some fun mods, such as drooped wing tips and bubble windows that provide a bit more shoulder room as well as an easier means of seeing downward when looking out the side window. An annual inspection completed in September included a new battery, spark plugs, mag harness, main tires, and mufflers—more items the next owner won’t have to worry about for quite some time.

A Garmin 696 GPS handles navigation duties while a uAvionix tailBeacon provides ADS-B Out. It’s unclear whether the seats have been reupholstered or they’ve simply remained in like-new condition since rolling out of the factory in 1969.

With such low airframe time, 1,379 hours on the Continental O-200 and only 115 hours since prop overhaul, this clean 150 is likely to provide its next owner with decades of flying fun.
