|  Cheap block time? 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 |

| Re: Cheap block time? 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. |

| Senior Member  | Re: Cheap block time? http://www.executiveflyers.com/html/rate_sheet.html $71 an hour for 152's. For that $100 (actually less) you're paying for the 172 you can fly a Complex Sierra. |
