But it was a more advanced single engine-prop plane than the 150 or a 152.

As I recall neither of those planes had retracts and what we were flying did.

I did stall/spin training not far from there about the same time in a 150/152 Aerobat. Great fun!

(I don't think I'd like to spin a '102. About six revs and you're a pancake!)

Hey did you ever eat at the little fresh fish eatery there on Half Moon Bay? It looked like nothing at all but a tiny old hamburger stand, and was not to far from where the boats unloaded the catch, and they had the best fish dinner in the world!

I have some stories from those days. Like the time I was pitched off my Excalibur Sail Boat without a life vest on, and spent 7 minutes treading water in that cold Pacific before my partner could bring the boat back and get me in (thats another story, & not his fault)
