Greetings

On May 1, 1967 I flew my last pre-solo dual.
I soloed on May 2, at 10 hours, in Cessna N8624J, a brand new 150,
the first student to solo in it.
The rent was $7/hr wet.




That's about the time I did the same, 9 hrs, C-150 N8722G..
Flew out of the now defunct Fairfax airport in Kansas City, Kansas,
presently a GM assembley plant..
Seem to remember dual was $15/hr.



In 1970 I soloed from Hillside Airport, south of KCMO. $9.00/hr wet for
a C-150. I got my commercial in ~1973 at the Johnson County Airport (now
Executive) with the Johnson Co community college. C-172 were $16.00 hr
wet and the instructors were salaried, so there were no per hour
instructor charges. And I used to fill my '67 Buick Wildcat (430 CID)
with premium at $0.19/gal.
