Cheap block time?

[bap327]

I live in the Boston MA area and am looking to buy some cheap block time in a 172 or a 152. Any ideas as to where I can get a good reliable plane for $50-70/hour. I need about 100 hrs to get up the cax level. Thanks

cheap and aviation is kind of like an oxymoron... atleast in my part of town.. not sure about boston

I hear ya there!! I am just sick of paying $100/hour when my friends down south and out west are flying for $56/hour wet in the same plane.

Hi there
Go to king aviation mansfield (1b9) in mansfield MA, they have like 4 or 5 152s for $68 an hour, in my opinion one of the best FBO in this area, they have part 61 or 141.
They also have two new 172s, two piper warrior, a piper arrow and a beechcraft dutchess for multi-engine training.
a friend of mine and I are sharing time in a 152 and it costing us like $35 dollars an hour for each of us.
here is the website

If you are interested let me know.

$71 an hour for 152's.

For that $100 (actually less) you're paying for the 172 you can fly a Complex Sierra.

Cachon,
Thanks for the info. putting together a couple plans now and looking for the best deal around. I have my ASEL and AMEL and want to get the Inst done and then start burning time to get to the CAX as soon as possible. I will keep these guys in mind.
