In 1976 I could choose between the ole 150 for $15 or the new one for
$16.


Hmmm... From a percentage of my equivalent hourly salary, renting a 152
these days would be cheaper than it was in 1976... Around then, I was
probably making around $5 per hour, thus 1 hr flight = 3 hrs work... These
days, it's closer to a 1:1 ratio...
