Early/Mid 90s 152 hire rate was about $65/$75 solo with 172 and PA28 rates about $10-$20 an hour dearer, an extra $30 or so per hour for dual rates. I think that was with club discounts, still have some rate sheets somewhere. I remember private licences were quoted about $5k and commercial around $20k with CIR and IR courses an additional $5-$8k dependent on operator. By 2000 those figures were starting to double.
