Re: TX: Mooney Aircraft in Kerrville shuts down
Unfortunately, general aviation has just gotten too expensive for the average guy. When I first started flying in 1971, a nice Piper Cherokee 140 rented for $15 per hour wet and am older Cessna 150 rented for $5 per hour plus gas which was about .35 per gallon and running rich used about 8 gallons an hour so about $8 per hour. Mooney made a neat airplane, but not many could afford to buy a new one.
