Oh man! Does that bring back memories. In the early '60's learned to fly
in a J3 Cub. Did my first spins in one. That was fun. Also learned airports
aren't the only places to land airplanes. Got lots of hours in a real
honest to god taildragger. Since those days I have flown a whole mish-mash
of planes. Of the tail dragger types there was C-120, C-140, C-170, C-180,
C-185, C-195, Dehavallins DHC STANDARD OTTER, the most fun airplane
however, was the J3 cub.
THOSE were the days ,
