Bit less of the sarcasm NC! That gap in the roof is to allow departures by the C150 VT, the vertical takeoff derivative of the C150 which my granny used to fly on black ops for the CIA. It was going to be VTOL, but the FAA wouldn't approve the STC for the reversing mirrors and backing down through the roof without them was a bit dodgy. I think it caused an accident with a fuel truck once......
