I took a 150 to 12 in the summer just for fun. It took forever. I
also had a 152 up to FL130 on a very long x-country. Took a while to
get there but it wasnt so bad because it was (very) cold.

The patience of Job.

I used to take my 172RG up to FL140 to get over the towering CUs every
summer.

It was like pushing a wet noodle uphill. Thank gawd for turbos.


Yeah, I was in a heavy 172 with three up on a 95deg humid day and we maxed
out at about 9.
