I believe it was an escorted date, or something like that! Once upon a time, years ago, in a far away place, In a 150 with a "child seat" three adults took to the sky................................. Bill Grants Pass, Oregon What was the rate of climb? 10 FPM? Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Oh you doubters of the 150 and 152's true capabilities. True story.......... One 1978 Cessna 152 One Chevy TH350 transmission in the baggage compartment Two big, very big, guys, (Still don't know how they got the doors closed.) Topped off tanks! (Did it myself!) Flew from TPH, (5,500' elevation) to BIH one fairly warm morning! No, I wasn't one of the guys!

I flew with Luke, 9 yr old up front @ 95 lbs. Leah & Will in the child seat @ 50 lbs each. I weigh 205. We weren't even over gross! We only had approx half fuel when we took off. The only difference I noticed was that it was a little pitchy on the elevator. I didn't take photos during that flight and we haven't loaded up and all flown since. If anyone has any doubts about our lil 150 and their capability with regards to being over gross, read this: http://www.cessna150-152.com/transatlantic.htm

It will come in hand to sit your flight bag on or any other item that you may want to reach easily while in flight.

Charlie R Yes sir. That whole flight was too scary for lil ole me! The sandstorm & filter change leg sounded impossible.
