The photo is his son flying. Senior passed away four years ago. I have about 100 hours in the Cub with his Dad, a former F-4 RIO and an excellent pilot. Made me smile.

There is really nothing like flying off of grass, especially in a vintage taildragger. Really makes you appreciate flying the antique birds!!
You should try something other than the Cub line. They are really tight inside compared to others from that era like an Aeronca Champ. I fly the 4 place Sedan and loads of room inside, thats why they make great bush aircraft.
