Cross country in a Cub…

What fabulous, beautiful photographs.They’ve thoroughly brightened my new years day, In 2008, I flew a J3 on floats from Vermont to Oshkosh. It put adventure back into aviation that I hadn’t experienced in many years.

Although the US isn’t my home, the land and the people encountered on the way were spectacular; I’m not slick enough with a camera to capture the beauty of it all as these photos have done

Ever since I’ve harbored a secret plan to spend the first summer after I retire from the airlines, just drifting across the US in a J3. Who knows, when the summer turns to Autumn perhaps I’ll ship it on, in a box to Australia.

After seeing these inspirational pics I’m determined; it’s got to happen!

Happy New Year to one and all

Ndege.

Marvellous images – wonderfully atmospheric. The Cub is one of my favourites on Flight Sim – it is easy, relaxing and undemanding. How I would love a trip in the real thing! The nearest I have been is probalby in a friends Auster many years ago.:D

I’m not a pilot. Never have been, never will be.

Never been to America and circumstances dictate that I probably never will.

But I’ve just spent one of the most pleasant hours I’ve ever had looking at those stunning pictures. I’ve read most of Richard Bach’s books, now I know what he was describing.

Thanks for sharing those images.

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I’m not jealous of those guys at all. Honest! 😀

Me neither. Cub flying without frostbite? It’ll never catch on! What a fantastic site though!!
