Pat Ranfranz, CharlesLindbergh.com owner/developer, buy's his first plane; Cessna 152-II
I'm thrilled to announce the purchase of my first plane; a 1979 Cessna 152-II. Since receiving my Private Pilot License in March of 2001 my flying hours have been severely limited due to the cost and inconvenience of renting planes from local FBO. When the weather was nice, the planes were all busy. When I was ready to fly, a plane had a problem. Although plane ownership brings a lot of new responsibilities, I've already experienced the joy of flying on my own time. |
