Key Takeaways:

  • The "152Reimagined" project takes old Cessna 152s, strips them down, zero-times their engines, and updates their interiors, essentially creating a refurbished aircraft.
  • These "reimagined" 152s are sold for around $100,000, with AOPA and its partner Aviat touting operating costs of approximately $65 per hour, including fuel.
  • Aimed at flying clubs and partnerships, the project offers an intriguing and cost-effective solution for affordable flying, with AOPA providing detailed financial backing for its value proposition.

My dad and I have been talking about buying an airplane together for what seems like forever. What we really need, he says, is something with four seats and two engines — so naturally we should buy two used Cessna 152s.

That light-hearted logic was on my mind as I checked out the “152Reimagined” at the AOPA tent at Oshkosh. You might have heard about this project already. The idea is to take an old 152, strip it to bare metal, zero time the engine, add new paint, spruce up the interior, and offer it to flying clubs and partnerships searching for an inexpensive way to fly.
