A great aircraft all the same - very under rated. You can't appreciate it's performance until you have seen it operate in very tight spaces.
Agree entirely. The 150 I fly has taken me in and out of some extremely short strips. For the really short ones, a judicious selection of full flap and a yank on the stick always seems to get it off the ground at an incredibly slow speed.
I just wish it went a bit faster. I saw 54kts groundspeed on a windy day last week....
