About 15 years ago I was with some friends and we rented a Cesna 172 for the afternoon. I was about 240lbs, the two of them both about 180lbs so the total wt was 600lbs plus fuel and jackets and a few other items. We flew it out to Catalina for lunch.

My question - Were we over the wt limit? How bad was this? Were we actually lucky we didnt crash? FYI - My fat but was in the back seat....
