More than you would think.

There's one up in NY where it's uphill from a lake. So, if the wind is coming across the runway, it's hot and you're in a 152, you get a very, very good look at your wheels a couple of feet off the water. Big fish lookin' up at you...

And if that isn't bad enough, there's a honkin' big hill on the other side of the lake.

The pucker factor is very high!
