Yea, we used to go eat lunch at a local civil airport. One guy was practicing the short take off and landing and doing real well in his STOL aircraft.
One other guy landed in his J3 Cub and pretty much dropped it down and rolled 5 feet or so. Shorted landing than the STOL. The folks eating all laughed.
I was in one of the 172s we leased and the headwind was crazy once. We had to power up to get to the turn in for the fuel pumps. The pilot but on the parking brake, but I sat in the aircraft and held the brakes as he fueled it up to keep it steady. We were real happy to get back in the hangar.
