Same here...didn't stop a friend from dropping in in his 140 hp Cessna 120.
The takeoff and climb out was beyond belief.


When I flew my 85hp Cessna 140 across the mid-West in May 2002, the
winds were a sustained 40 knots or so. The landing wasn't hard (how can
it be when your landing roll is all of five feet?) - it was taxiing
which was difficult.

I think the FBO guys were quite used to this. They grabbed a strut each
and helped me taxi in and tie down.
