I used to fly photographers, and took a lot of pix myself, when I was

can't have been much. Maybe putting in one notch of flaps helped.

Flaps might have helped, but it also may be that the 172 behaves differently
from the 150/152 aircraft. Mine was a 150.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.
