Joey and Rachel Brown give their Cessna 150 a workout hand-flying flying from California to Florida and back. It was all good until the final leg when headwinds and downdrafts exceeded aircraft performance and they were no longer able to maintain altitude (even in a climb configuration). Fortunately, avoiding get-home-itis made for a happy ending.
