The other posters are correct in that Cessna does not manufacture the 150
or 152 any longer. HOWEVER, they have come out with a Sport catagory
size that has about the same performance numbers as the 150





Cessna’s Light Sport Aircraft Makes First Flight


Wichita, Kan., October 13, 2006 – Cessna Aircraft Company, a Textron Inc. (NYSE: TXT) company, announced the first flight of its Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) today. The airplane departed McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan., at 8:33 a.m., performed a variety of flight maneuvers at speeds in excess of 110 knots (127 miles per hour), and landed 9:05 a.m. at Wichita’s Mid-Continent Airport a few miles away.

“It’s been nine months to the day since I gave the team the go-ahead to build an LSA concept aircraft,” said Cessna Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer Jack J. Pelton. “As the world’s largest producer of single engine piston airplanes, it’s a testament to the experience and engineering ability of the Cessna team that we were able to make this happen in such a short timeframe. I extend my congratulations to the team in getting the LSA airborne so quickly so we can further evaluate this promising concept.”

The newly-emerging LSA category is the highest growth sector of general aviation. Light Sport Aircraft are defined as having a maximum gross weight of 1,320 pounds, maximum level-flight speed of 120 knots, and no more than two seats.

Pelton said the company will evaluate a spectrum of issues associated with entering the sector to determine if there is a favorable business case. That decision is expected to be made in the first quarter of 2007.

“An important part of our thought process in looking at LSA is the value in terms of new pilot starts,” Pelton said. “Experience has shown that Cessna brand loyalty is a powerful force in our success, and we believe this new category of aircraft could provide a conduit for new pilots to grow through the Cessna product line in the years ahead. We also believe our extensive sales and service network could provide an important market advantage, which, in concert with our design and manufacturing experience, could make this an attractive extension of our product line.”

Cessna’s LSA proof-of-concept features a high wing spanning 30 feet, side-by-side seating for two in a cabin with a maximum width of 48 inches (a half-foot more than the ubiquitous Cessna 152), tricycle gear, and a 100-hp Rotax 912 engine.

Cessna’s sport aircraft incorporates dual control sticks, upward opening doors, toe brakes, and a castering nose wheel. Construction is primarily of aluminum, with selective use of composite parts for the cowl, wing and dorsal fin.

Based on unit sales, Cessna Aircraft Company is the world's largest manufacturer of general aviation airplanes. In 2005, Cessna delivered 1,157 aircraft and reported revenues of about $3.5 billion. Since the company was originally established in 1927, more than 187,000 Cessna airplanes have been delivered to nearly every country in the world. The global fleet of more than 4,500 Citations is the largest fleet of business jets in the world. More information about Cessna Aircraft Company is available at www.cessna.com.

The company leverages its global network of aircraft, industrial and finance businesses to provide customers with innovative solutions and services.

At $5 per gallon for fuel, a Cessna 150 costs about $130 to fill up. A Cessna Citation X costs about $10,000 to fill up. Every other Cessna made (dozens of models) falls somewhere in between.

There are no new C-150s. They haven't been built for decades. The C-150 was replaced with the C-152 in 1977 or 1978. Production of the C-152 ended around 1985 if memory serves correctly.

As stated the last 150 was made in 1977. However there are companies that can rebuild one to like new condition. I haven't been able to find one for sale, but my guess would be between $40-$50,000. The low time models are few and far between and fetch over $30,000. High time old trainers are $24-$28,000.

you won't get a new one but you can get used one(not that old ;around 1985;well-maintained)in working condition for around $ 1,00,000. If you want it cheap then you can import one (from USA) ,which is not air-worthy , for as low as $6,000 (mind you the interiors ,windshield ,some of the engine accessories & control columns may be damaged or missing ).But some of these aircraft may have engines and engine controls in superb condition,which means that you can safely conduct ground runs.But the point is that the importer must have an import/export license for bringing used/scrap aircraft. Actually this is the way in which my company brings several of these aircraft to be supplied for use in colleges.

the 152 is no longer manufactured, however similar 2 person, moderate performance aircraft are in production and made byt companies such as Liberty Aircraft. Check them out. Expect to pay upwards of 300k for a new aircraft though...planes ain't cheap.

Yes as said they do not make the C150 or C152 anymore. I know a lot of flight schools use both aircraft as trainers, so I am sure you could find one for sale somewhere with quite a few hours on them.

New 150's aren't being built yet again. 172's, 182's, 206's are. These start at 175K plus at the low end.
