Late Summer Afternoon Cub Flying after a Flooded Start and near miss With a Few Deer.

After three days of Airbus Flying, it was nice to get out to the airport to go hit up some Grass strips. I flooded the engine when it didn't quite catch on the first few pulls, but fortunately starting a flooded Continental is pretty easy. Once I got it going I went to Allen's (3nj9), Pemberton, (3nj1) and Redwing (2N6) followed by a few laps back at home before the sun went down. It's really hard to beat sunset flying int he Summer with the doors open. I never really have a propose other than doing three point landings, wheel landings, slips to a landing, and simulated engine outs.

Pops learned to fly with the Army 101st Airborne. After his special forces patch and jump wings, and After Libya and Germany, He signed up for training in a spotter aircraft which ended, before finishing. Then once he was out in 63 he re-trained and finished at a local flight school. He had LOTS of hours even before he solo'd for his Private Pilot ticket. Dad flew for 45+ years. Just about every make and model of light civilian single engine aircraft. We went everywhere. Once while landing his Bellanca Citabria in Northern Idaho, we almost clobbered a whole herd of deer on landing. It was plenty scary. Luckily, they were smart deer. Thanks for the Touch and Go's , , brings back memories.

That last landing was beautiful man!! Loved how you cut it in tight, slipped, and buttered it. 🤙🏼

[@Bananasssssssss]

I love me some “simulated” engine out approaches 😇

[@blakezhuko3906]

Wow what an absolutely beautiful aircraft.

[@robertcieslak1861]

I got my entire private pilot certificate in a Cub, and than I started flying the Aeronca Champ (L-16A) in 1957. What a difference! No bouncy-wouncy landings like in a Cub and you soloed from the front seat.

[@lawrencemartin1113]

That was delightful!! I feel like I just went flying solo in a Piper Cub..... something I would loved to have done in my lifetime and dreamed of since I was a boy, but sadly never will! Such a nice experience on such a lovely evening too!

[@Bananasssssssss]

Thank you!

[@jamesmagnum]

Pretty immersive capture for vicarious experience, so valuable. Great rudder and stick work there. Thanks, safe flights.

[@divyajnana]

What a great video, thank you. Fun little slips into a couple of the airports. Looks like you used about 1/3 of a tank. The cub is such a fabulous plane.

[@michaelpollock8910]

Enjoyed the flight very much. Very good skills. Thanks for taking me along.

[@brettphillips8650]

Love the calm, cool, and collected way you deal with a flooded engine. I also like how you are careful to point out the consequences of skipping a step in the process. Be safe, always do everything in the same way every time, and the outcome will always be the same if your process is safe.

[@Bananasssssssss]

Thank you! And well said!

[@stevensobba1785]

Thanks for the ride along . Miss those days!

[@morrisburt8957]

Goodness how I miss those late afternoon touch and go’s. J-2, J-3, PA-11 and PA-18s. Keep up the great work 1

[@Bananasssssssss]

Really is like therapy. Everytime I go up I realize how fortunate I am

[@morrisburt8957]

@@Bananasssssssss Indeed. Been about 60 years since then, but if you learned in a cub or any other tail dragger, you can fly just about anything. But then again, for pure enjoyment nothing beats those classics.

[@elmoreglidingclub3030]

Very nice!! I do the same sort of flying with my Cub down here in Alabama. Too much fun.

[@emilyattheairport]

Ahhh the classic Piper Cub flooded engine start. So frustrating, but perfect explanation and execution!

[@Bananasssssssss]

It almost started, gave the little burp but didn’t quite catch, that’s how I knew I donnn F’d up 😂

[@emilyattheairport]

@@Bananasssssssss false hope lol

[@KalibasauRC_64]

Beautifull fly

[@parkburrets4054]

I've seen two pilots hand prop a plane and it got away from them. One actually made it slightly airborne before crashing into a telephone pole. The other was about the size of a Pitts and the dumbass pilot was able to lay on the ground as the propeller went over him. The tailwheel hit him and nosed the plane over and the prop hit the ground finally stopping the engine.

[@Kevin_747]

Nice video. My kind of flying. I haven't flown above 800 agl since I retired.

[@jhettish]

Thanks. I am relatively new to Cub flying. So far no problems landing and taking off but I hope I'm ready for the day something goes wrong. Multiple Cub landing videos are what I need at this time.

[@Zpc_Aircraft]

🥰🥰NICE JOB

[@jorgevillalobos8356]

Es un placer volar en la CJ3 es noble en toda su expresión

[@earlturner8174]

What a beautiful evening for Cub flying. I thoroughly enjoyed that.

[@johnwhitehead5457]

There must be proper tribute paid to the machine when flying an aircraft older than you are and for me I'm pretty old ... 80 years.

[@BobbyChastain]

You. Have. Got. To. Do. This…. With a 360 degree camera in the tandem seat.

[@lclfav2]

RIP Scott Bloomquist who passed away after crashing his J3 the other day.

[@LJDRVR]

Great content! Show us some three-points, please?

[@Bananasssssssss]

Ha! You got it! Next time for sure

[@LJDRVR]

Thanks, Joe! Post-annual Stearman test flight got flown this morning. Tailwheel current again! And my Boeing flies so much more nicely than my employer’s Boeing. Thanks for the Cub content. I’m looking for a nice clipped-wing. Your footage just makes me want one even more.

[@johnwhitehead5457]

"I feel the need ... the need for speed."

[@aaronauclair]

I really enjoy this perspective what do you use for a camera?

[@Bananasssssssss]

Thanks! GoPro Hero 12

[@aaronauclair]

@@Bananasssssssss I like how it doesn’t have as much of the fisheye effect my GoPro hero 7 black does. Have you tried an insta 360?

[@rogerwilco4736]

Lovely airplane I owned and was restoring a J-2 a decade or so back but regrettably due to a partnership despute I never got to fly it

[@Michael-iw3ek]

OMG the cockpit is empty the plane is flying by itself its flying by itseeeeeeelf! It's haaaaunted!!

[@twest344]

I forgot that New Jersey is "the garden state". We outsiders tend to think of NJ as only urban/suburban landscape.

[@Bananasssssssss]

Yup, most people think of Newark, lol

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Man! The second landing had me holding on to my chair like it would somehow help finish that turn before your wheels touched down on the grass strip. Especially with a tree line so close to the runway. Great flying skills and energy management! Reminds me of the flying style of an old friend, Bob Hoover, who was famous for flying a production model Shrike Commander for North American Aviation as an EVP and test pilot. He always said you can make an airplane do incredible things as long as you understand energy management. We can all learn a lesson rom Bob. Here is my favorite video of his flying skills. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoWUnImjptKpfrc

[@Bananasssssssss]

Thank You!, appreciate that!

[@VictoryAviation]

This is the first time I've noticed the tach is backwards. What's the reason behind that?

[@Bananasssssssss]

There is a reason but I forget why. Was hard to get used to at first

[@brettphillips8650]

A65-8 and CXX-8 engines use counter clockwise tach rotation. The CXX-12 engines have more gears in the accessory case for the electric starter and generator options and use a clockwise tach drive.

[@breezyflyer6025]

I used to tell my passengers that I had to rewind the rubber band after I flooded the 0-200 on the breezy:)

[@OnceIsEnoughForMe]

Be careful wirth the deer.!

[@smicksmookety]

Do the cubs have large talons?

[@theflyingfool]

Noice!!

[@gibememoni]

do you have GPS?

[@dieterthieme3633]

Great skills!
