Glad you enjoyed it.
This is the affect "The Little Yellow Airplane" had on our family's lives.


So this is my Family's story with a Cub and a Champ. Yea I know the Camp isn't yellow but it was my first plane along with my Dad who was my partner in it in 1965.
In 2001 My Son and I bought the 7GC Champ that we still have. So Little planes have always been part of or lives. Father Son Partnerships do work and are a hell of a lot of fun. I gave my part to Grandson the day he soloed it and Son gave his part when he got his Private License.
Lives in my family that a Cub had influence on was my Dads 1940, Mine 1948, Sons 1969, Daughters 1975, Grandsons 1998, Grand-daughter 2000, well she had to be different her first ride was in our Champ.
The last 65 years has been a great flight through life in the "Little Yellow Airplane" along with all the rest of the flights in little planes.

My Dad with our Champ 1965

My Sister and me in 1948. This is the Cub my Dad flew us around in. The General Aviation bubble had just collapsed. The reason was due to flooding the market with light planes. All the Mfg. thought all the returning WWII pilots would want one plus the GI Bill to teach flying. WRONG
Notice the tall grass in the hangar.


From Cub to what I built and flew in1973


From Cub to a Jet and more

Both Kids in The Cub




My Daughter didn't get to solo a cub but this was her Luscombe that we were Partners in 50-50. She flew I paid for it. Her first solo she was not to happy because I didn't put the doors back on

From Luscome and cub to this
