Love that Cub, Gary! Back in the day when it was first built it could be had for
1400.00 bucks----and you got change back! I also loved your story about hauling the
instructor out of the tavern to take your flying lesson. My instructor was a WWII fighter
pilot with stress issues. One time when I didn't take my hands and feet off the controls
fast enough he blew up and screamed: DAMMIT I'M IN CHARGE OF THIS PLANE--BACK OFF!"
I backed off real quick and when we got back on the ground, I fired him as soon as he
signed off on my log book.
