Re: Becoming a Pilot

Are J-3's still used? That was my first ride. Still remember it. [/ QUOTE ] They're actually quite common, although you hardly see them used for any commercial flying - it's a great cheap plane for weekend recreational use. Honestly if I were to learn to fly all over again, I would have taken lessons in the cub; it teaches you so much a standard trainer (Cessna et al) can't accomplish. Recently for kicks I've been flying the Aviat Husky - it's like a J-3 on steroids, and you can easily land it on less than 400 feet. http://www.aviataircraft.com/aircraft/husky.htm |

Thank You! I've been away from birds so long and that site's a hoot! Had no idea those guys also made the Husky. 40' landing sounds like STOL or controlled crashing!
