Oof! How much does the other reporter weigh?

Anyway, there is no way a 350 lb guy is going to fit in a 172. I have known
such who flew in specially modified 182s from the back seat. He is
undoubtedly used to being told that his weight is an issue.

Don't bet on it. If we're talking about a 6'8" musclar type, you're
right. But if we're talking about some guy who is 5'10" and just
seriously overweight, no problem, he will fit. Seen it done.
