As for a flying club, I am in one back home in SoCal and i do not recall the total prices but I think it was like 300 per year and then 30 per month or so. The prices are cheap. The 152 was 57 per hour and the 172's were 78 per hour. The most expensive planes were the Arrow, Dakota and Cardinal and they were around 105 per hour. That club is www.pacificcoastflyers.org, this is not an advertisement for them just for reference purposes. The prices may have gone up or done since i have not flown there for almost a year due to deployment. Those prices are wet by the way..forgot to mention that.
