Default Infamous engine stall on takeoff

wrote:

The first article called it a Cessna 150, the second called
it a 172. Which was it? And would anyone be so crazy as to try to tow a
banner with a marginally-powered airplane like a 150?
Witnesses (probably pilots) likely told the media that the
airplane stalled, and the media interpreted this to mean the engine
stalled. I wish they'd just print things the way they're quoted intead
of putting their own spin on them.


Maybe not if it was a 150 hp C150
