Jerry and the J5 Cub

My Brothers 1940 J5 Cub at McPherson Airport

[@barryb83110]

I had a 1941 J5a in 1982. I flew it cross country and was amazed at all the old timers that came out of hangars to look at it and reminisce. They were WWII pilots who trained in one. One guy was adamant that I had to let him prop it for old time's sake. They were really great people to meet.

I soloed J-5, N41239, at the present day football field in Athens, Al. Sept.27, 1987. Instructor, Jim Pilkinton, signed off on the trip. Wonderful memory.

Planes like this one are why airports are great places to hangout!

Thanks for posting this video, Jim.

Glad to do it. Really puts the airport on display as one of the finest places in the city!
