Gemini Sparkle

Key Takeaways:

  • The "152Reimagined" project by AOPA and Aviat takes old Cessna 152s, stripping them to bare metal, zero-timing the engine, and adding new paint and interior.
  • Aimed at flying clubs and partnerships, these refurbished aircraft are presented as an inexpensive way to fly with a basic VFR panel.
  • The out-the-door price for a 152Reimagined is approximately $100,000.
  • Operating costs are touted at around $65 an hour including fuel, with AOPA providing calculations to demonstrate its value proposition for clubs.

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.
