There's still 150's in the air???
But I have some great hours: Waco UPF7, N3N, Stearman, Cubs & T-crates, C-195 & 180s... My home field had an active antiquers club.
Then there was the time, when I was working on my commercial, where I was cleared to land straight in on Rwy 28, and suddenly had a windshield full of Cherokee! It was one of the old ones, and was being flown by a blond man in a short-sleeved white shirt. He was wearing Ray-bans, a gold watch, and had a pack of Marlboros and a gold pen in his shirt pocket.
I stood the plane on a wing and got outa there! My instructor was swearing and so was I, when we heard the same controller who cleared us clearing someone else to depart RWY 07! Ignoring Tower, I asked that pilot if he knew we were coming in for 28. (For those of you who aren't aviation nuts, 07 and 28 are the two ends of the same runway. Controller cleared us for a head-on collision, which explains the Cherokee.) He said he did, and said he'd start his turn now, since he was going south anyway.
After we landed, my instructor stomped off towards the tower. Something tells me he then put some of our SCs to shame!
