Piper Cub Stunt Flying Comedy Act KLHV 6 20 13

[@treywest268]

I had the good fortune to see Stan Segalla perform his Flying Farmer act at Old Rhinebeck Aerodome about 20+ years ago. These acts are always great fun and really shows off the J-3's abilities!!!! Great flying in this one!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

[@EHV8R]

The great thing of this, is that it takes place at my home airport over a four day fly in event, and Greg and his crew stay afterwards and sign free posters etc and answer questions. They are truly a class act!! Thanks Phillip for your kind words. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[@rtrfan7398]

10 years ago! I've been there in 2012 the year before this video and saw that too. I remember seeing it land on the bridge. This years fly in is going on right now! I saw the planes at the fly in last year in 2022 and 2021 too.

[@EHV8R]

Hi rtrfan Yes, I started flight training on the airport in Aug. 2010, and attended Sentimental Journey, for a couple years before I filmed this video. I also made another video you can see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5OQZGCFZciip5o It did not work out as well filming it since some of it is blurry. I also went up this week for a couple of days, but the weather sure has put a damper on the attendance this year! I am glad that you enjoyed the video!!

[@TheLaraeH]

Great bit of flying. I used to fly with my dad in a Piper Cub. It was so fun. I really miss those days!! Does anyone remember Grace 'the Ace' Page? She used to do airshows like this years ago. Met her when I was in high school in Zellwood, FL.

[@EHV8R]

Consider yourself fortunate. I have never been up in a Piper Cub yet, even with as much as I am around them, and the fact that Piper Memorial is my home airport! They do look like it would be fun though.

[@ronaldgreen5292]

There's just something about this little yellow airplane that brings us so much joy! 😁😁

My dad was a WW2 pilot. As a kid, my earliest memories were doing things with him. One of my favorite memories is flying under the thousand Island bridge at Alexandria Bay, NY. We had an old Cub built before the war. I know the announcer was terrible and the guy makes the people living in rural America look bad but if you notice, no women or minorities were offended so I guess it is ok as long as you make fun of white men.

[@EHV8R]

The announcer was just reading the script that the pilot and his team gave him to read! But I guess if Johnny Carson told a bad joke they blame him instead of his writers.

In 1979 I soloed in a J3 Cub, built 9 years before I was born. What a joy the cub is/was to fly. It isn't the fastest or sexiest, and certainly not over-powered at all, but it has taught millions and continues to thrill to this day. I should have bought one years ago.

My Uncle Bob McComb did this same type act as Uncle Fud. He would be sweeping the apron and tell them to move this airplane or he would move it himself. He accidentally took off and the fun started. At one point, he was in slow flight low over the runway and you could see him sitting backwards while he flew. He was an Army/Air Force flight instructor during WW2.

[@EHV8R]

There are a few pilots that have similar acts and these are ALL exceptional pilots, with amazing skill! Craig comes to KLHV during the Sentimental Journey fly in in June for several years, and he is a great guy to get to know, and not just a stand offish performer. Much like your uncle I am sure!

[@tvideo1189]

Back in the 60's I was lucky enough to see Captain Dick Schram, aka "The Flying Professor", do his hilarious act in a Cub. He was a Naval Reservist and flew airshows all over the country, always in a locally borrowed Cub. He would come out in a top hat and tails with a huge book marked "How To Fly". After a pilot got out of a Cub he had started and had idling "just to warm up" according to the announcer, he climbed in and started his act. He was unfortunately killed during his act in the late 60's while his son, another Naval Aviator, was announcing the show.

[@EHV8R]

Thanks for your comment! I have only seen other videos of a pilot doing stunts like this, but this is one of the many times I have seen Greg Koontz perform here at KLHV Lock Haven Pa. I also have a couple other videos of his stunts on this channel.if you are interested

[@raybin6873]

At Scot AF base airshow in 1960's as a kid - I saw a guy flying a Piper Cub doing comedy skits. He at one point flew the plane SIDEWAYS! To this day I still haven't figured out how he did that!

[@EHV8R]

Hello Ray, well, I would almost feel like a magician giving away the secrets to magic, but the SPOILER ALERT! truth is that it is an exaggerated form of something every pilot learns which is to do what is called "A Slip" which is accomplished by "cross controlling" the airplane using opposite rudder and aileron used mostly to slow down the forward ground speed of the plane on approach if you are too high and fast to land. Flying the plane "sideways" presents more of the broadside of the airplane into the wind. (sorry about the spoiler alert)

The late great Art Scholl did an air show gag where he walks onto the field as a drunken bum and steals a Piper Cub and takes off. He then flew it mostly about four feet off the ground sort of weaving around some and making flat turns with the wings level. Quite funny to see. And there was some fairly small structure on the other side of the runway and at that near zero altitude he flies around it and of course disappears behind it briefly. A very odd and funny thing to see.

[@EHV8R]

I have seen some similar acts on TV as well. It certainly is a great skill to fly to look like you don't know how to fly! In recent years Craig's act is restricted to over the airport because of insurance costs.

the dude is a good pilot, lol

[@EHV8R]

The dude sure is!! ha.

[@Digitalzen]

Long 8+ minutes of unamusing, totally unbelievable lead-in that could easily be cut to 2 min. or less, since everyone knows what's going to happen anyway. The show actually starts at 9 minutes.

Your a critic.. you can't just enjoy anything can you?

[@guy_incognito7538]

THIS one was YELLER!!!! Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!

[@cmoore185]

It seems like I have seen this 100 times in the last 50 years. It was a lot better when I was a kid because I didn't realize how bad an actor the announcer is.

[@EHV8R]

It is supposed to be better when you were a kid. You were watching with a kids eyes and wonder and joy!!

[@172-e5s]

OMFG ! How embarrassingly LAME was that? I don't think I've ever seen anything that hokey before. Great flying but that announcer/comedian should be banned from all public appearances. Him and all his 'actor' buddies. OMFG

[@frednel4326]

Why swear God ? 👎

Your a stupid critic just enjoy what you see

False advertising, they call it a comedy act.

[@EHV8R]

Oh does that mean it is a "Serious Act?"

[@georgiamule]

Keith McAndrew Wait, it wasn’t real? Those guys aren’t really hillbillies? You sure had me fooled. 😳

[@MsWheelsuptime]

Great act by Greg Koontz, I've seen it before... But that announcer was so basis against the southern stereo type... It was a little upsetting.

[@MsWheelsuptime]

Keith McAndrew I am sure there was a bit of ad-libbing

[@cmoore185]

I don't remember the airplane having a starter.

[@EHV8R]

Some do not, others added a starter

beautiful aircraft, terrible video..

Everyone's a critic! LOL.
