What is the best Cessna 150 model?
From a pure performance and capability standpoint, the 1977 french built, 130 hp rolls royce/continental, a150m aerobat would be considered the “best” cessna 150/152. So you’ve heard the cessna 150 is a great trainer, but it could never be a good cross country airplane. We beg to differ. cessna 150 and 152 pilots routinely fly their airplanes across the state, coast to coast across the country, and even across the atlantic ocean!
When did Cessna stop making the 150?
The Cessna 150 went through relatively minor changes over its run from 1959 through 1977. Combined with the 7,584 Cessna 152s (the successor to the 150) built, there were a total of 31,533 Cessna 150 and 152s built. Out of those, an impressive 22,746 (roughly 72%) are still registered and flying today6.
