One other price, in 1989 bought a Grumman AA1B with a zero-hours Mattituck
engine and a fresh annual for $8500. It needed radios and was maybe a 7/10
cosmetically but it was solid and a great plane. Bought it with a partner and
he was an IFR multi guy (went on to fly for the majors) and insisted

Paul Visk said; I paid $32 wet at an Air Force Base aero club up in Alaska.
Back in 1983
Back in the 50's, the Air force aero clubs were owned and operated by the
club members. When the Air Force took over management, they decided that

Just to clarify, that was an FBO $38/hr for the Tomahawk wet,?? our local club
in the 90's was $35/hr wet for a IFR 172. Not sure what it is now, I'll ask.

I'm spending the day with my Son in Bradenton Fl. I've been thinking of getting
check??out ?in a C-172 down here. ?I called a FBO at KSRQ and asked some
