I just saw your comment. Sam I flew with my uncle every summer in Navajos and king airs and always wanted to be a pilot. I joined the Marines and loved my experience and after that I drove across the country, USA Canada and explored all of Mexico over thirty years. Now retired at 58 I’m getting back into aviation and I’m going to fly for as long as I can. So live your dream and share it with as many young people as you can. Ashland was one of my favorite places to stop when I was a driver. You have a great plane to fly and built your time so good luck and I hope you make more videos for us to see. Good luck!

I have tons of hours bombing around Alaska in a stripped out 1970 K model. Nothing but pure, economical enjoyment! The aircraft was eventually sold to a flight school, and within 6 months a renter flipped it over, landing on a snow-covered strip. No big deal, however, as the tail section from a 152(!) was grafted on to her, and she still plys the skies to this day.

A lot more "Goodies" aboard then the ones I rented in 1969-74! These planes can be a lot of fun! I had a great time flying them, "back in the day"! No one used a headset back then. You had a "Cabin Speaker" and a hand Mike! But there were a lot fewer Tower controlled fields back then, and much less need for a radio

Great to see our young generation taking flight. I got to learn to fly in the US Navy, but later in life, my son and I bought a Grumman Tiger, which we still own. He used it to obtain his PPC, instrument, commercial and CFI ratings. A bit faster with more power than those 150's, but it served its purpose, especially living up here in Denver. Anyway, after graduating college, he now flies for a tour company in Hawaii. Also, you're not the only ones who are afraid of heights! I'm right there with ya! Fly safe and fly often!

Same happened to me when I flew my FAA check ride for my PPL had full fuel and he put the plane slightly over gross. I told him so and he asked if I would still fly, it was a cool day and said yes. When I did my landings with the C-150 no matter the flap setting the landings where pretty much the same. Passed my check ride and he signed me off. That was 1974

I regularly flew one in the late 1970’s from Camarillo to Mammoth Lakes. In the summer time you have to land late in the afternoon and take off very early in the morning. Mammoth Lakes Airport is at 7,200 feet. I recall using most of the runway to get airborne and rate of climb was 150 ft/min if you were lucky. Just me on board with a briefcase. One time on a flight north up the Owens Valley on the East side by the White Mountain Range at Lone Pine, I was at about 10,000 feet when I hit a severe updraft from the air flow over Mt. Whitney. My rate of climb was 1,000 ft per minute with the nose pointed down. As I passed through 12,500 I pulled back the power and was still climbing. My next option was to stall a wing and spin the aircraft to loose altitude. Luckily I exited the updraft at about 13,500 ft and there after “surfed down the wave” all the way to Bishop. Fun airplane for 1 person.
