Thanks for that. Brings back memories of my childhood when about a mile from home was a little grass strip that three Cubs called home. Used to spend weekend days playing in a junker and watching the others fly. :thumbup:

My son (in Norfolk, VA) has a Cessna 150. He has a lot of fun going places with it.

That was really cool! I love aviation (as witness from my avatar) and I would LOVE to build a smaller scale Ultralite that looks like a P-40. The very first airplane ride I took was in a Cessna 180 for a sky dive. Never landed. :-) The jumper ahead of me broke her leg so we got some extended flying time. I loved the flying more than I did the jump. I did 5 more jumps but was hooked on flying. My wallet has kept me from getting a flying license or a craft. Oh well, I can still take pictures of them! ;-) Cheers.

Soloed in a J3 cub at 17 YO - -

Worried my IP a bit - because I did a touch and go first time around
Never did get my ticket - - school took priority
But I did get over 1300 hours as rated flight crew
About 150 Hr in the back of the venerable RF-4C

I began my flying addiction with a J-3 in 1959. Still do only with a bigger flying machine. It was not cheap then and not cheap now however, when you are caught you can not let go. Chuck Lee
