The Piper Warrior is a good airplane to train in. I was already a Private Pilot when the school I was going to got one, they proved to be so popular that they bought three more with in the next month. Then they got a couple of Archers. Since they did a lot of light charter to Fisher's Island and Block Island, those aircraft proved to be very profitable in that roll. No doubt about it the 150/152 is a good trainer, but if you need dual purpose, the Warrior is a better airplane. I recall that a new warrior with a KX-170B state of the art nav/com and a transponder with mode C cost just a little under 27K, in 1976. They cost a bit more now a days.
