Great find, Tom. So far I've watched 3 of the vids and each has been spectaular.

Great videos. Most of my favorite flights were in a J-3.

Awesome! I have a few hours in the one on floats that taxis away from the dock at 1:28 - N172T. I recognize a couple of the lakes up there too. Sweet!

Here she is, last July:

I was thinking the same thing. Are there any being used for instruction in the Northeast? I seem to recall hearing about at least one school in New Jersey or Pennsylvania. Maybe I should break out the google...

The school at Andover Aeroflex here in North Jersey has a new Cub Crafters or Legend Cub on Bushwheels that they
instruct in.

Yeah, those were the guys I was thinking of. The Cub Crafters planes look great, too, but I'd really love to fly a classic J-3. Realistically speaking, though, I'm not going to have time this summer, so I guess I'll have to look for one in norther California instead.

Stop in San Antonio on the way to either coast and we'll put you in one...

Hmm. Well we are making a cross-country drive in late summer, but we weren't planning on coming that far south. Tempting, though. And Arnold, thanks for pointing Vintage Aero Sports out. That's not an impossibly long way away from here.
