A 150 is capable of slow flight at about 30-35 mph, and when you have a
nice headwind you can almost hover. The windows open too so you can
stick your arm out, and shout at people on the ground. This makes for
great fun over golf courses, in particular when the golf course is
located on the final approach to the airport, and the engine is
throttled back and it makes very little noise.
Not that I would have any direct knowledge of that sort of thing...

What? Your 150 couldn't keep up the pace set by the Citations
and Learjets? You just weren't trying hard enough. *smiles*
For the non-flying, a Cessna 150 is small 2-seat, overhead wing,
piston engined 'plane. The Citation is a business jet.
The Citation stall speed (minimum speed necessary to stay
flying) is about the same as the 150's cruise speed.
