I’m 70 and haven’t flown in 30 years now. In 1976 I was able to rent a Super Cub owned by a family that operated a beautiful small airfield (Sportsmans’ Airpark) in Newberg, Oregon. I got a call from the owner one day. The Oregon State Police had purchased a PA-18 150 from a guy in Lubbock, TX who had purchased the last 22 Cubs to come off the Piper assembly line. I flew to TX and had 3 days to get the Cub back to Oregon. It had a wet compass - and no other equipment. I bought a few AAA roadmaps to go with my fairly useless sectionals and off I went. An adventure I will never forget. This is a great story and I have subscribed to your channel. Your stories bring back lots of great memories of flying into the bush in British Columbia in my 30’s. Great work. Jim
What a great story. Daniel thank you for your service and brother I'm so glad you get to fulfill your flying dreams with Super Cubs! Small world. I've met your instructor Daniel Holman. He used to be a radio controlled team pilot for Extreme Flight RC. He was damn good at that as well.

Great story, and thank you for sharing I have a very similar story, I'm working towards my A&P and my ultimate goal to to build similar aircraft as you. I am hoping I can get a medical as soon as I can but it's going to take a bit For me.

Super video. I am re-building a piper 22/20 getting ready to install the fabric, can you tell me wich method did you use ? Regards C-GYAB.
If you watch our other video about the raffle plane Junior explains a little about his fabric process. He uses Stewart’s system.
