A cessna 150 is a good aircraft to introduce abit of everything inasmuch as it will Train, Tour, Aerobat to a certain extent. It kind of does a bit of everything yet excels at nothing. It can get into anywhere and has a relatively short take off ability, it has a robust undercarriage and the nose wheel is bolted into the engine frame (the 172's nose leg is held on by hope alone). It will take some abuse. All conti 0-200's are carb ice prone - i think it is the design of the carb that means you sometimes have to almost fly with a bit of carb heat on continuously in some conditions!
All round good thing - cheap to run - almost all engineers are familiar with them. Designed as a metal trainer they can be repaired and most show signs of several "ocurrances".
Dare say some clever git could design a composite modern looking replacement but i am not sure the long term cost effectiveness and repairability would shame a humble 150 which needs to be "long term" economical with good serviceability.
Reckon 150's are OK for what they are!
