    I have 50 hrs in a 1939 J3 with a C90, and after watching your videos a couple years ago I pursued a professional career and today I'm fly a Cessna 404 hauling freights for UPS. Thanks Steveo for the inspiring videos!

    I was a rusty pilot who had lost his medical and had not flown in sixteen years. Last year I got my medical issues under control and was successful in getting a class III medical. Went back and got a BFR and IPC last fall. Watched your videos to help get reacquainted with ATC radio work and cockpit flow. It must have worked because I just purchased a new (1974) A-36 Bonanza and flew it home this past Monday from Kansas City to its new home in Punta Gorda, FL (KPGD). Yes, that is the same home airport as Baron Pilot. I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your videos. They helped motivate me to get back into aviation. Please keep up the good work. I look forward to more videos.

    I've always wanted to get flight instruction from a game show host

    I learned to fly in a J-3 on a grass field back in 1964. I flew and soloed from the back seat. When the instructor got out to let me solo (at 16) it seemed like a mile to the front panel and without the instructor, the little J-3 just jumped into the air. THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES !

    Just joined an Aeronca Champ club and will be getting my tailwheel endorsement here soon. Excited to get back to stick and rudder after spending the past year transitioning from glider to ASEL in the C150.

    I just love the fuel guage indicator sticking out the front. Can't get much simpler than that

    WOW Steve...You've just taken me back to 1986! I purchased a restored 1947 J3 Piper Cub N3461K for my Dads last Fathers Day and flew it to Buffalo from Madison, WI. As a corporate pilot in mostly Cessna 310's, 340's and 425's the cub was my biggest challenge! Anticipating this purchase for my dying father I had taken my bi-annual in a Citabria with my only other tail dragger tine being about 15 hours in a B-18. i recall my dad saying at the dinner table over the years of two kinds of Tail Wheel Pilots being...those who have "Ground-Looped and those who have NOT, and since I was the second i didn't want to be the first! An exhilarating experience especially through Chicago TCA back then and the best lesson learned was that grass strips were infinitely more forgiving than pavement! Left buffalo via American Airlines on Friday PM with a brief case full of cash, negotiated a well over market purchase price with three partners and learned to fly it on Saturday. Left Madison, WI bound for Buffalo, NY on Sunday...4 fuel stops a stiff headwind on the NE leg to Erie and a dead battery on my Telex Hand Held (strapped to my leg with a boom mic and push to talk switch velcro'd to the stick) and I was back home just before sunset and able to take my father to the hospital on Monday morning for lung surgery. The very next Sunday was fathers day and I presented Dad with a photo album with pictures and fuel receipts of the adventure... dad never got to fly it but saw it once before his untimely death, age 54. Frank was a 30K ATP Rated Pilot and i could learn something about aviation just standing next to him. I did fly it a few times but a nasty divorce ensued and my brides attorney found it and forced a sale for considerably less than purchase price! just so you know, I'd do it again in a heartbeat as it was quite an adventure ';-) Please share this with your Cub instructor as he seems like a great guy too! Thanks, Mike...

    The Piper Cub was my first solo on my birthday back in 2003. Always a special place in my heart. Im sure it made the rest of my training easier. Low and slow baby!

    Growing up in Alaska these are the birds I got to fly in. I’ve had a few experiences taking the stick. I would love to become a pilot even at 43.

    Now THAT is some real flying!! No electronics, no yaw-damper, no flaps, heck, no doors or windows! I LOVE it. That HAD to be absolutely awesome!! Great video.. The grin on your face was totally ear to ear...

    So cool, I remember we had a friend that had a Cub and my dad used to get to use a Champ and we would go fly around for a couple hours. Man those were the days. I miss him. Thank you!

    Loved it! True story: Back in the 1960s I attempted to join the RAF as a pilot. I failed: I could not read the bottom line of the test chart with my left eye. Despondent, I left RAF station Biggin Hill and wandered onto the airfield before catching a bus home due about 1 hour later. There was an air experience business using a de Havelland Tiger Moth. I had the princely amount of ten shillings in my pocket which was not enough for a joy ride. After explaining why I was so down in the mouth the pilot said "Ten shillings eh? OK - jump in". He did not hand over control, but that remains one of my best and most memorable flights. [ten shillings? - google it].

    I’ve been a J-3 Cub owner for thirty plus years now. Although I’ve been blessed to own other travel/business planes along the way, including two Cirrus SR22s, a Comanche, a Bonanza and a Saratoga, I’ve always described myself as an “old Cub pilot who is forced to fly business planes from time to time.”
