New: April 11, 2008

Our Cessna 150, N22648, turned 40 on April 10, 2008. It was issued its original Airworthiness Certificate on April 10, 1968. To celebrate, I flew down to Hinton-Alderson Airport (Pence Springs - WV77) and took some pictures of myself with the faithful old bird. Since buying this airplane in 1986, I have logged over 3400 hours in it. Most of the time I was giving flight instruction. Click on Solo Archives to see the list of students I have soloed in this and other airplanes. The list tells the license number of the planes used in each case.

Also pictured is myself with Betsy Langemo, a Cessna dealer for Sporty's Pilot Shop. I flew this Sweepstakes airplane for 1 hour in January 2008, and I can attest to how nice it is. You might win this airplane by making a purchase through from Sporty's. Somebody will. You can definitely buy one like it from Betsy. Call her at 800-908-4359, and tell her David Hersman sent you.
