I haven't done a weight and balance calculation on a Cessna 150 in a couple

Neither have I, but I can remember a few items. I weighed 150 pounds back then
and had about 10 pounds worth of flight kit. If I filled the tanks, I could
carry me, the flight kit, and about 180 pounds. That's if I wanted to stay at or
below max gross.

As I recall, however, one of the posters on this group managed to get a 150
airborne at least 200 pounds over max gross (and complained about the lousy
climb rate). If you've got enough runway, that 150 will easily carry two people
and the Davy Crockett round that's been mentioned.

"Naked" means you ain't got no clothes on; "nekkid" means you ain't got
no clothes on - and are up to somethin'.

Nah... It just means you are from farther South than souther Michigan.
