Good for her.. she will be ready for Allegiant Air in a few years... some duck tape and that C150 will be good as new.. lol.. glad for her thought... good job.
That will buff right out!
It's a Cessna, not a Cessa. It's Georgia, not Georga.

Peter and David, probably the writer was texting while writing this article !!
Tongue firmly in cheek, I hope.
Carb ice can form in a carburetor at mild temperatures at partial throttle, typically during cruising around at partial power on a humid day. The temperature at the throttle plate, behind which there is a partial vacuum, can be very cold, at or below freezing, due to the rapid vaporization of the fuel at that location. The first thing you always do with a carburetor engine when loss of power occurs is to apply carb heat and switch tanks if appropriate. The second thing you do is to look for a place to land (single engine). If power resumes, proceed normally. If power does not resume, land.
