I'd imagine that this must be like flying in slow motion by comparison
to what you're used to, Chris.

You wouldn't catch me in (on?) one of those Andrew!  No I am referring 
in derogatory language to a Grob 118E, or "putt-putt".  Its maximum 
speed level is around 125 knots.  Nothing I have flown since 1985 would 
take off at that speed (most fast jets need around 165 knots to get the 
nosewheel off the ground).

I am being unnecessarily disdainful I know; I do enjoy it ;-)
