Interesting picture Olympus,

I flew that C-150 when it was owned by Rusty Bowker. He was a training captain for East African and I also flew for them.

The performance of that 150 at the density altitude of Wilson, and us two fairly large guys was interesting to say the least!! We spun it over the Rift Valley so that we had sufficient daylight beteen us and the ground to recover!!!

Thanks for the memory.

Not really being someone to say something, but why not post your challenge, Mr Grubby.
