Each day, the team at Aircraft For Sale picks an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, represents a good deal, or has other interesting qualities. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.

Today’s Top Pick is a 1966 Cessna 150F.

Cessna’s 150 might be the most overlooked airplane among pilots looking for economical ways to get airborne. While it has trained thousands of student pilots over several decades, those newly certificated pilots tend to shop for larger, more powerful aircraft that can travel faster and carry larger loads.

That trend seems to be changing, though.

Today 150s are receiving more love from the used market in part because they are still available for bargain prices, especially when compared with the range of new models available in the light sport category. Even though the 150 and its successor, the 152, do not qualify as light sport aircraft (LSAs), people who usually fly solo or with one other person have discovered that they have all of the utility and performance that their typical missions require.

This 1966 Cessna 150F has 4,989 hours on the airframe, 103 hours on its Continental O-200-A engine since overhaul, and 4,989 hours on its McCauley propeller.

The IFR panel includes a Trimble TNL: 2000A GPS, King KX 155 nav/com, KI 209 VOR/LOC/GS, KT 76A transponder, PS Engineering PM501 intercom, and uAvionix skyBeacon ADS-B.

The aircraft is also equipped with Micro vortex generators, Aero Fabricators shoulder harnesses, F&M spin-on oil filter adapter, SkyTEC starter with ignition key, Whelen LED anticollision tail light, belly fuel drain STC, and 6.00-by-6 nosewheel STC.

Pilots in the market for a reliable and economical aircraft for commuting, touring, or time building should consider this 1966 Cessna 150F, which is available for $49,950 on AircraftForSale.
