Hi, all my good friends on J3-cub.com.
This site has meant a lot to me over the last few years of Cub ownership, both as a source of valuable information, and a site where I can attempt to share some of my hopefully relevant flying knowledge. Sometimes I have been too arrogant, but always tried to be as factual as I could.
My prostate cancer has advanced to the stage where it got into the bones, and the strong steroids and pain meds required too keep the pain down make me sometimes very groggy. I still have some leg strength, what a blessing that is. I am putting my faith in the Lord.
I am constrained to two rooms up stairs but have a stair chair lift which allows me to go down sometimes, with a lot of help from my loving wife and from a full time care keeper.
Keep up your flying and all the banter about engines and short fields and Nick and others congratulations for your recent certificates.
I still dont throw rocks at good old Cessna pilots, who know that tri-gears are now in widespread use for many reasons, and aircraft have many missions which should be honored. I flew 7,000+ hours commercially before much low and slow in the Cub and that was pretty much done at legal altitudes.
It looks like November 21, 2009, was my last flight, with help from Ryan.
I am now pushing EAA youth programs. Some of us have had our last flight. Now we need youth to have their first flights!
