Ha! It must be something in the air, Doug. I'm not thinking about buying a plane, but my younger brother had to do some construction work at a small airport, and was telling me about the planes he saw. I got off the phone with him, and next thing I know I'm surfing around the web, seeing what a 152 rents for now-a-days.

Anyway, to answer your question: $8000 sounds awful cheap for a 172. 1500 hours since major--I never was an expert in the maintenace of those, how much time between major overhauls?

Could be fun. Of course, its also fun to pick up the keys at the FBO, fly it, return the keys, pay your bill, and let someone else worry about insurance/maintenance/annuals/etc.
