I immediately firewalled the throttle -- and slapped the flap selector to
the "up" position. Big mistake.
I was used to Cherokee flaps -- one click of the Johnson Bar up or down --
and was surprised to find my now-becoming-flapless plane sinking toward
the runway -- and I-94. I quickly put in a click of flaps, which
arrested the descent, just in time to clear the trucks on the freeway.
I went from Tomahawks to C150's when I moved town. Did almost exactly the
same thing after a couple of hours in the Cessna, total hours ~15, and 17
year old.

I did just the opposite. I'd done my primary training in both 172s and
Warriors, so I thought I was immune to that kind of thing, but on my Archer
checkout, I started a go-around and dumped *all* of the flaps instead of
just the first notch. Life got exciting for a few moments. I learned to hold
that Johnson bar firmly when pushing the release button.

Switching planes is a great way to make sloppiness apparent.

I had recently transitioned to a Cessna 172,

What???

Why were you making a change from a manly low wing airplane, to a sissy
high wing airplane, with such a un-manly little engine?

"HAD", Jim, "HAD" recently transitioned. As in past tense -- way past.
Like 1995-ish.

No "C" products for me nowadays -- although I did have fun flying with Joe
in that little 150!

But Jay has not yet learned how to read.

Where has an e-mail been spoofed, fjukktard?

Not as long as it keeps fjukkwits like you on the line.

Hmmm.
