I'm with Bill on this one, too. I have flown both the 150/150 and many versions of the Cherokee design...the Cherokee 140, both 150 and 160 hp, as well as the early 180's and later Archers, tapered wing and hershey bar straight wing variants. I was used to the awesome performance of my 150/150 at sea level, and was amazed at how density altitude really ate into that performance. It was especially disgruntling to watch Jeff and Kathie out climb me and walk off and leave us if he wanted to.

However, the figure eights around the pylons on the desert floor was a highlight of that trip. grin
