Cessna 152 N60SX Available for Rental Ready for something a little different? N60SX a 1981 Cessna 152 has joined the Classic Aviation rental fleet for a rate of only $60/hour. The airplane just came out of our shop after an extensive annual, engine overhaul, new interior, and avionics upgrade. Our original plan was to sell the aircraft, but we are putting it online as a rental airplane for a trial period and if it rents well we will keep it in the fleet. The aircraft is IFR certified and has dual nav/coms and a VFR GPS installed. So if you are looking for something different, a lower cost rental, or a lower cost way to build cross-country time or maintain instrument currency give N60SX a try. Take advantage of the offer below to save $10 on your checkout in N60SX.
