Default Does a Cessna 152 have an afterburner?

They should make cast iron airplanes for "flight line
decoys" and put guards on the real airplanes. Yes, we need
kids to see, touch and learn about airplanes and become
pilots. But please, parents, watch your kids. I caught a
five year old, unattended ay a flying in Pratt, KS chinning
himself on the pitot tube of a homebuilt.
