Not at all. I train out of Cullman, AL in a C-152. So far the training
is
going good. I did have a time getting used to rudder work (and still do
occasionally) but its getting much better.

So, what do C-152s rent for out there in Cullman, AL?

Not sure about Cullman, but I about 60 miles north of there (Huntsville) and
I rent a 152 for $65.50 wet.....

Cullman right now rents a C-152 at $70.00 wet. Think the price will be
coming down real soon.

Damn, doesn't seem like that many years ago when you could find a 150/152
for around $35-$40... Then again, gas was a bit cheaper back then...

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

Back then (or not too long afterwards) I could get a Cutlass for $33.

Oh, those were the days. Alas, I was a student and couln't take full
advantage of the deal.

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...

I havn't had it even as good as 1:3, wanna trade jobs? I've heard some
people say that when you account for inflation gas is relatively
cheaper now than when gas was 25 cents a gallon or whatever. I think
that's a load.
