When I do own a Cub I hope it's one that's been loved and cared for as much as this one clearly has.<br />Thanks for for the blog, Captain Rand!<br />BobBobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16719194362744001280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-58616744621068532882009-09-09T11:06:04.111-04:002009-09-09T11:06:04.111-04:00Hello Rand... what a nice flying piece you have.

So sad you have to let it go...<br /><br />If I would be a pilot and have a proper place to take care of him... (Mexico is not such a good place for these beautiful classics).<br /><br />Best regards always,Miguel Ángel Cardonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239512519168556917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-81571093584865938592009-09-08T22:27:27.327-04:002009-09-08T22:27:27.327-04:00Thanks all for your comments, I'm still strugg...Thanks all for your comments, I'm still struggling with letting my Cub go, but I'm simply not flying it enough. I've taken many people for rides over the years and the first thing they ask back on the ground is; "how much does a Cub cost?" Or "how do I get one?" I explain that a Cub's not for everyone. They're, slow, noisy and you really can't go any where in one, but if you simply enjoy flight, flight without moving maps or GPS's, flight for the sake of flight, looking out the window and looking back at a beautiful little airplane when you walk away, then maybe... just maybe, a Cub's for you. It's pretty, some might even say cute, has timeless lines and can be confounding in a crosswind, but if you love history and the aroma of freshly mowed hay fields from a thousand feet, a Cub just may be for you. I know that it has been for me. Thank you Mr. Piper!<br />RandRand Peckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11208678958267684589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-34213294569186277902009-09-08T16:28:37.006-04:002009-09-08T16:28:37.006-04:00Ah, it's a cutie.

I bet this isn't the only and surely won't be the last one you own.<br /><br />The soundtrack in the clip made me smile. Also Sprach Zarathustra for the rollout! I think R. Strauss would not have thought it ironic, being pre-airplane he may have appreciated the miracle of human flight.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09991660841701835065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-10844378629696319902009-09-08T12:28:55.229-04:002009-09-08T12:28:55.229-04:00Hi Rand,

Best for the dog, but heartbreaking for the owner. More power to you for doing the unselfish thing! Maybe you can find somebody close by to take it and let you fly it once in a while!?<br />Best wishes!<br /><br />Tim G in MNTim G in MNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686170507290966725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-24957149111040407322009-09-04T09:56:43.200-04:002009-09-04T09:56:43.200-04:00I'm a tad sad to see the J-3 go Rand...I had a...I'm a tad sad to see the J-3 go Rand...I had a Champ that was just a dream to fly. When I relocated to the Land o'ORD it was not practical (chuckle, like it was ever 'practical') to base here. I always thought I was a throw-back when I chat with young FO's and they get all wide-eyed about flying off sod.<br /><br />Hope your J-3 finds a good home....see you down the line<br /><br />Tim, 8DME W ORDTim_757 8 DME W ORDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14810843397171798346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8850162361953820333.post-78207127530987649842009-09-04T01:28:52.988-04:002009-09-04T01:28:52.988-04:00Rand you're killing me here.
