Great idea. Right now, as weak as the US Dollar is, you can buy a plane for about the price of a good dinner in Euroland.

I agree with what is noted above- that does look like a nice 150, but for the money you can get a lot more airplane, something with more utility and which will likely be easier to re-sell later. Planes you can get now for $30k were twice that amount six years ago, and that was when we had a legitimate currency, too.

If you want to explore possibilities and meet some good US GA pilots and resources, drop in at Pilots of America and introduce yourself.

Good luck!
