I am so pleased that you enjoy your map and I hope to make others as happy as you. It's better to come by early in the show as these maps are ones that I have collected over the years and once they are gone in may instances can't be replaced. I sold my J-3 Cub several years ago as I am finding...

Oshkosh was so much easier when I was younger and living in Ohio. Although I am now almost 75 and living further away in Florida, my son and grandson say there are willing to help me this year so I shall return. My plans are to have a great family adventure at Oshkosh to once again sell my...

Although the flight in my J-3 Cub took place a week ago, I though I would post it here. I usually post pictures or in this case a video of the changes that are taking place in my small world, The Villages Fl. People around here who don't fly enjoy seeing the new growth of The Villages for my...

The six powered parachutes flying in formation, rolling and then one looping over eight times all done during the night airshow on Wednesday.

When I flew my 46 J-3 Piper Cub in the 2012 Dayton Air show just before the Blue Angels flew, I asked the air boss for permission to takeoff on a closed runway that was more aligned with the wind. He stated that I could as long as I didn’t hit the spare F-18 parked along that runway. I hate...

The majority of fighter and bomber pilots of WWII introduction to flight was in a J-3 Cub. It was the training aircraft of its time. If you visit the Air & Space museums in D.C. or Virginia, you will see a J-3 on display and not a Champ. Same is true of the Air Force museum in Dayton with the...

Hope to see you in Florida as I will be in building A selling my Vintage Air Maps, classy Cub shirts, and talking about flying Cubs to Oshkosh for the 80th

Steve Krog called me several weeks ago to ask if he could take control of the cubs2osh site. As he is a good Cub man and much closer to the folks at EAA in Oshkosh than I now am, I felt pleased to pass the site to him. He has a web site guru who will add new features to help everyone flying a...

Landing with 15 to 20 knot variable cross winds in a 1,200 gross weight J-3 Cub taildragger on pavement is no fun. While landing on a grass runway under the same wind conditions is almost a piece of cake as long as you don’t relax too much.

"I hope you are as excited as I am about the 80th Anniversary Celebration of the J-3 Cub at Hartford and Oshkosh. It’s hard to get better than this. Attend a small, home town atmosphere fly-in, and then fly directly to the largest one on earth. And celebrate the plane we fly and love at both. I...

It seems to me that pilots should not assume that others are communicating. Always visually check the area. The battery in my handheld is sometimes dead when approaching an airport. So, I always look for others in the pattern and on the runway. Radio communication is a good safety addition to...

Thanks but Moontown is one hour west of my flight plan line and Peach State is a little further than I want to go for the first day of flying with a ground speed of around 70 MPH. Carrollton has MOGAS which my engine likes and I like the price. I will keep these two airports in mind for another...

That’s the airport I am planning on stopping at overnight when flying my J-3 Cub to Florida in October. This sad new brings back memories of a good friend’s son-in-law who I meet having been killed in a midair flying out of a small Cincinnati airport while taking advanced training a few years...

I missed it when it played at Oshkosh 2016.

It's my understanding that this is a must see movie! I am waiting to see it locally. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt4648732/

I received this email from Charlie Becker, Director of Chapters, and Communities & Homebuilt Community Manager. **“We are a GO for 2017! Steve Krog/Cub Club is on board as is EAA and Vintage. Rick, I’ll make sure to stop by your booth at some point to talk about it. Here is the response I...

This will be my second time as an exhibitor selling pre & WWII sectional maps (Vintage Air Map) and promoting Grimes Field/MERFI/Champaign Aviation Museum in Urbana, Ohio. This year I am in building A (1037) across from the Pin Up girls. Please stop by for a chat and to talk about the 80th...

As I also like to take kids up in my Cub, I can especially enjoy watching your flight. My only caution to you would be to secure that window. It would be a distraction for me and might lead to a premature failure of the window hinge. Enjoy the Cub and be safe out there.

In a few months, I will be using FPV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTZhSDDwBHA

Having fun flying my RC Night Vapor in the Champaign Aviation Museum hours before the start of MERFI (Mid Eastern Regional Fly-In ) at Grimes Field Urbana, Ohio this August 2014. The beautiful J-3 Piper Cub is mine! May try this next using FPV as the FAA can't regulate indoor flying...
