Good God! Here I was feeling sorry for myself having to pay $85-95 an

depending on whether the bird had GPS or not. I can remember paying
$37.50
an hour for a C-172 years ago.


When was that?

I remember paying $18 (1979, club, or $22 from the FBO...WET) and that
was
for fairly new stuff.


Back around the same time.... 1978-1980... somewhere in there. Even in
our
club, we were never seeing prices as low as yours.


Mine was in Grand Junction, CO....where was yours?

I notice costs vary widely across the US, often by 50% or so.
