First Flight in a Cub
Had my first flight in a Cub on Sunday late afternoon. What a fabulous, fabulous little aeroplane. All my flying so far in Cessnas and Pipers (all tricycle) and had never flown a taildragger, or a rag and tube or stick controls!
Tootling around the local area on a sunny Sunday early evening - fabulous views, door open (!), slow enough to really enjoy the beauty of flying - amazing experience. And I loved the whole side slipping in to land too - great fun.
All in all, exactly how I hoped flying was going to be when I decided to learn. I'm not knocking the Cessnas/Pipers etc - clearly horses for courses - but for a gentle wander round the skies, thanking your lucky stars for being able to fly and see this beautiful country from an angle that most people never get to see - the Cub was fabulous.
Thank you to the extremely kind aviator from the club who took me up with him!
I want one!
