- Nothing to do, nowhere to go, the perfect night for flying the Cub. Open door, warm, calm air, no headset, no radio, nothing to distract you from pure Stick & Rudder flying.

I’ve flown my 1947 Cessna 140 coast to coast….twice. If you want to enjoy the beauty of the world, there is nothing more stunning than to do so in a small airplane perched a couple of thousand feet above the ground. I’ve been to Europe dozens of times for work….when I tell people there that you can fly in the US without a radio or a flight plan they just can’t believe it. “Who controls you?” is invariably asked. The freedom we enjoy in this country is a unique treasure. General aviation is the epitome of that freedom.
100%
I confirm.......I had seen the US pilote....of one little plane..at (toussu le noble).... near PARIS.......He explain me that..!..Here in France ...a lot of thing are forbiden
THIS... is what dreams are made of ❤. Thanks for sharing Joe. It looks like a truly gorgeous evening of low&slow flying.
Bud, you handle your aircraft absolutely brilliantly👍✈️
Thank you!
Love the foot controlled carb heat❤
If only there was a way to pull it out with my feet 😂
Just about to finish up my commercial certificate, and the dream is to own a cub one day! Watching your videos is great motivation. Thanks for taking the time to make them, It's very much loved and appreciated!!
Thank you! and good luck with everything!!!
Thank you Captain Joe...Your truly my brother of the wind.....Take the greatest of JOY... in watching your exploits....keep up the great work...! Signed Captain Coney..seller of "Jersey Rippers s"...And" Hotz Redhots"...
Thank you kindly
Thank you for sharing your flying with us. It looks so peaceful to be up in the Cub with no chatter, just the sky and wind.
My pleasure! Thanks for tagging along!
Just reading the title hit me in the feels. I feel blessed to have been an airline pilot for 25 years but there’s definitely something to be said about being able to fly on your own time without regard to a schedule or set destination.
Really is some of the best kind of flying
Absolutely awesome video Joe! You do a great job capturing the best of what that Cub is about. And your landings are always so damn perfect it makes me sick! 😂
haha Thanks! my third landing was not pretty at all, but I just accepted it and went around after a few bounces, haha.
pretty easy to judge the gear height during landing with that door. And the fuel float makes it easy line up, along with sitting far aft on the centerline. pretty cool
I get the ole’ taildragger fever every time I watch your vids! On the lookout for a champ currently. Thanks for sharing.
That's some fancy footwork, with the carb heat, at the 3:08, 4:55, 6:36, 7:29 and 9:41 mark! Beautiful flight.
Thanks!!!
Thanks for sharing a slice of "heaven"!
Fantastico teus vídeos comandante
Assisto todos
J3 é uma lenda
That gives a whole new meeting to touch and goes. What a beautiful flight. That’s the kind of flying every pile dreams of doing. Thanks for sharing.
Only the best kind of flying for the best kind of pilots!
Its remarkable how similar this concept is to motrobike riding..... In the space of 15 minutes, Ive gone from expecting to sleep around 10pm on an average night to riding for a few hours, exploring somewhere Ive never been and sleeping near my bike, usually on the beach. Hmmm I wonder what this place looks like, lets go find out.
Total freedom, it’s amazing
Great Video Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it
Un bonito video. Me llama la atención la tranquilidad que debe dar volar en una zona tan plana y con tantos campos donde poder aterrizar, en caso de emergencia. Los que volamos entre montañas o zonas muy pobladas, lo echamos de menos.
Love the video and the flying. I definitely don't get that ease of Cubbin' in the Bay Area out here in CA. Though, I did want to ask you how did you mount your phone like that into the front seat pocket. Thank you!
I actually just angle it so it gets wedged in there pretty good, lol. It helps I have a large Otterbox case
@@Bananasssssssss I will have to experiment a bit with mine. Thank you for the information! ✈✈
Bro is flying a piper cub
That looks so fun. One thing I wish I had done and or had money to do is get a pilots license.
Hey Joe, just wondering: noticing the added visibility you get with the right side door open, what is your opinion on having a plexiglass window in the lower portion of the left side? I ask because I can do that on the aircraft I am building.
I would definitely do it! Also pretty cool to basically look straight down rather than out. Makes it feel like you’re on a magic carpet. My friend has clear plexiglass door on his Luscombe
My favorite flight to plan is simply filling the tanks and starting my watch.
100%
Incredible, looking forward to the day I can do the same!
Ive been flying for a long time and even days like this, I’m blown away. It absolutely never gets old! You’ll love it
Hoping everything is going well with the jobby job bud. Glad to see you’re out having fun.
Thank you!
The camera angle is fantastic! I've noticed it on your previous videos, no way to duplicate it in a Carbon Cub. What camera and setting did you use?
Thanks! It’s. GoPro 12 with the “MAX lens mod” and set to “HRV” (Hyperview)
@@Bananasssssssss Im going to change my setting and try it in my plane next time - Thanks!!
So... about that aileron crossover gromet... get some 1300l and mek, your mechanic will probably give you some, apply light coat to each surface and let dry completely. Gently wipe with a rag dampened with MEK. Line up and press the grommet in place.
This type of repair easily falls under preventitive maintenance and you can sign it off as the pilot.
I know, I have to take care of it. It's been like this since I got the airplane, lol,. There is no excuse for me not to fix this. I'm on it!!
@@Bananasssssssss My airplane is in pieces in my garage so I don't really have any room to talk.
Your cub is quite a beauty.
Hey Joe I am 24 with a Private and I am in the process of buying a 46 cub. I’m from n43 but I have been down your way a few times in a c172. I was wondering if Allen’s requires previous permission a phone call or meet up etc to operate out of or is it open to the public? My first powered airplane ride when I was 8 was in a cub and I was lucky enough to fly in one a few times after that. So I always look forward to a new video. To me there is no better airplane for building time “I’d like to be an airline pilot” and having some real fun. Thanks
Congrats on the hopefully new purchase!! It’s a private airport that he allows pretty much anyone land at. They have a pancake fly in breakfast the second Saturday of every month! Just look out for the RC field and paramotors!
@@Bananasssssssss thank you we have paramotors at n43! Appreciate your help
No starter no computer no maps no intercom no radio no problem.
A true wonder to fly on that plane and in that area, by the way, where is the aerodrome? Greetings from Argentina.
New Jersey!!
@@Bananasssssssss thank you so much
AWESOME!!… thanks Joe!… now I gotta go fly my Chief!…. Every time I watch your vids, I have to go get the Chief out and go breathe in some avgas & oil exhaust …. Ahhhhh ain’t nuthin like it! Thanks brotha👍🏻👊🏼
Haha, love to hear it!!
So ready for not bad weather lol
Joe you make it look so easy, flew into 4 airports yesterday everyone had at least 3 tail draggers, did see a yellow cub and a cessna120 flying and a blue champ great day to fly
After a slow spring finally some great weather.
No door
Man, nice quality video! Perfect camera angle to study everything you're doin.
Thanks a ton!
Every time I watch these I want to buy a cub!!!
Nah….get a Champ. Fly from the front and better landing gear.
Joe, you at Flying W “Airport and Resort”? Must be nice to have a place to eat right in the field. Had a lunch place here in Virginia (KSHD) but it became a Covid victim. Have to drive or fly to lunch now. Headed for UAL yet?
Yup! Home sweet home! and not yet but ,maybe soon, lol. Should know more soon :)
Good luck with the move Joe.
Thank 👍🏼 you
Beautiful … great way to clear out the cobwebs in your head 👍🏻
Nice slip on landing #1 …
Question, what are the two controls that you adjust in the video… The silver crank on the left and the black think on the right… both on the side of the front seat?
Thanks for sharing!
Hey! Thanks! The silver crank is for Trim, the one on the Right is Carburetor heat!!
@@Bananasssssssss Thanks for the reply… great way to start my day
Fun times. Only half-joking but having watched some of your helpful tailwheel tips, it would make it easier to watch the stick and rudder action if you put pom-poms, or something visible, on the toes of your shoes and, if you covered the front stick handle with a red & white striped cover. It would look dumb but it would sure help to see.
I keep meaning to do
This. I’m going to do it this week when I talk about slips. I’ll put white tape on rudder pedals and stick 👍🏻
if that isnt the purist form of flying then I don't know what is
That is some good flying. I also enjoy doing the same thing in our Aeronca. Wx has made it difficult to get a calm clear day here in the High Desert of OR.
Weather is finally getting nice here in NJ but it was a slowwwww spring for sure
The general avation dream.
How come you fly from the back seat
In these Cubs without Wing Fuel Tanks you sit in back for Weight & Balance. It’s actually way more comfortable and its like looking through a wide angle lens vs telephoto.
@@Bananasssssssss that's interesting, I appreciate you replying to me
Beautiful flying, the essence of..
Is that a GPS in the seat back?
Yeah, lol. It’s my iphone. I use it for ADS-B in. I figure with no radio/headset nice to see who is out there flying around
@@Bananasssssssss wow it stays in place well. I used to utilize an iPad mini for navigation strapped to my leg.
Every new pilot should have at least 5-10 hours in a cub! I’m glad I did.
Your description of the flight at the top of the video got me. "Smell the pine trees". I do envy you.
Sounds good to me!!
Nailed it!!!
Real flying right there. Really good stuff! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
What are you switching up front with your right hand on the side and with your right foot at 7:30?
Its the Carb Heat. Easier to just kick it off 😁
I always cringe a little when you fly close to those powerlines :)
I know, lol. Fortunately the tree line is same height so easy to keep clear
Super cool
The carb heat foot tap! So good!
Great stuff as usual
Thank you!
Beautiful morning to go for a flight. The only thing missing was me in the front seat.
No shoes
I did that yesterday and it was pretty great
No radio pilots frustrate me to the core
Miserable git
Beautiful Rudder control, EXCELLENT flying skills!
Bravo
