My father was a test pilot at piper there in Lock Haven Pennsylvania... he and his buddy Jr. trunk... And of course they were shenanigans they took off parallel to each other because the paid Runway Lock Haven is very wide can a crosswind they were blown into each other they were fired but we hired later that afternoon I don't know who fired and who retired old man Piper or pug My father was 59 and 170 lbs and he like to fly the cub from the front seat... and that's a J-3 and adjust the trim front seat one day he was smoking and lost a cigarette of course they went back towards the rear seat in the baggage compartment he carried the thermostat to coffee with him he does the floorboard as best as he could cuz he didn't want to burn up Another time he was flying along I had to fly an hour and 3/4 off on each airplane before the government took over plane Well he looked over to see a orange brown and white civil are not explored Stenson ring the wing his story was he ducked into a cloud I lost them why he was never written up for that I don't know
And pray to God ya don’t crash and live to have the chance to get out quickly.
Yeah, not crashing is pretty high on my priorities list every flight no matter how easily I can get in or out of whatever I'm flying.
Same as a sprintcar.
Just waaaaaaaaay slower! 🤣🤣🤣

My father was 59 and 170 lbs and he like to fly the cub from the front seat... and that's a J-3 and adjust the trim front seat one day he was smoking and lost a cigarette of course they went back towards the rear seat in the baggage compartment he carried the thermostat to coffee with him he does the floorboard as best as he could cuz he didn't want to burn up
Another time he was flying along I had to fly an hour and 3/4 off on each airplane before the government took over plane
