Are J-3's still used? That was my first ride. Still remember it.

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.

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! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I'm envious.

Keep those wheel thingies pointed in the right direction. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
