I bought my 1975 150M n 1987, and have flown it more than 3000 hours since. Albeit small and slow, with lackluster handling, but it will do a little bit of most everything, and is very low cost to operate.

A friend with the same vintage 150 as mine, very unwisely flew a high G stalled turn to final at 80 MPH, the crash was fatal. I opened the cockpit door to access him, the right door also opened without difficulty. Though the plane was bent everywhere, the cabin was mostly uncompromised. The coroner told me later that my friend's stop had approached 200G (referencing internal injuries). They are tough planes.....
