Thought I was going to see one on take off around 1974 or 1975. I had a third interest in a Cessna 177. We rented it back to the airport to help with the cost. I was out flying when the airport radioed me that some one wanted the plane. We paid for our own gas when taking the plane out so when we brought it in we topped off the tank for who ever would take out the plane next. After it was topped off four heavy people came out and got in the plane. I mean big fat heavy. This was a hot summer day and I said to the owner of the airport (Oh My Gosh). Corn was planted between where we were standing and the runway and they were to the end of the runway before we could see the plane lift above the corn. No one around us said a word until we could see the plane. No one had to worry about them coming up into the traffic pattern as they were still climbing when they were just a spec. 150 HP Lycoming was not enough to feel like things were working correctly on hot days in the 1969 Cardnel 177 with four 150 pound people.
