Picture of the Day: Nice to be chauffeured

By General Aviation News Staff · November 3, 2024 · 5 Comments

Ben Sclair submitted this photo and note: “Newly minted pilot, Brenna Sclair, chauffeurs Dad around in a 1946 Piper J-3 Cub. Dad still had to perform the takeoff and landing as Brenna has yet to earn a tailwheel endorsement. But still, it was nice to let Brenna handle the controls.”

    Sounds like a tailwheel endorsement soon, I believe I know a couple of instructors who might be able to help out…

    I saw this photo and it threw me back to days I owned one of these. Wish I still had it!
