Piper Super Cub - The Original Bush Plane

[@gordonfeliciano4315]

What a classic! Classy airplane, classy lady! Love them Cubs!

[@Gary.7920]

Bobby, Thank you for the nostalgia. 50 years ago, I was the first airplane to land (in My Polished & Red Cessna 195 which I went on to own for 42 years) on Justin Time Airport now closed. Also, a dear friend owned Flying S airport. I flew the 195 in the opening ceremonies of DFW Airport. A few years before that (1966) I flew a Piper PA-12 from Kansas City to Portland to LA & back. No Radio at all, all Dead Reckoning. Those were the days when Flying was Flying. Gary 77-Year-Old ASEMEL SES A&P IA. In the Beautiful Ozark Mountains of NorthWest Arkansas

You're one of the reasons I worked so hard to be in the u.s. God bless you sir.

[@kennyj4366]

She is a very good pilot, thank you for sharing. 👍

[@shortribslongbow5312]

Very nice flight Thanks Tamara really like your Super Cub.

[@spanieaj]

Brings back memories flying with my Uncle in a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser out of a farm strip. So much fun!

[@danmallery9142]

I'm glad we had a chance to meet Tamara... today. :-) She was awesome. So friendly and unassuming yet a very knowledgeable pilot! After watching this, who wouldn't want a Cub (or modern clone) on floats to hit every high country lake for a little fly fishing! Kudos Bobby for the great content.

[@tophatter15]

That’s REAL flying. Great video sir, thank you!!

[@bk1bennett]

Tamara is great! what a great episode.

[@christopherm7702]

Certainly the most extraordinary Super Cub I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing this with us.

[@mountainmandale1587]

A friend and I had one of these things in the late 80s and the early 90s. It was the most fun ever! Slow down and enjoy the ride! The tail was always a consideration, but once you got used to it, it was a blast! Affordable, too!

[@vaughnschoon9875]

s1965 last year of High School, I began flight training in Piper PA-18, 115hp Lycoming, Solo at four hours. Got to 32 hours then drafted to Army. Vietnam. Home safe, married and never finished. Great memories. One flight with instructor, with high winds, throttled back at 3000 feet and just above stall, watched ground and.....going backwards on ground...what a sight.

[@jorgegregoratti]

What a nice lady Tamara is!!!! and a beautiful plane BTW!!! Good job Bobby!!!!

[@Destide]

I love how both Supercubs plane and bike share so many simliarities in their fields.

[@glider1232]

I really like her. The 180 Super Cub has been a workhorse glider tow plane for decades!

[@parkerfilms1]

Seriously fun flight and video!! Thanks Bobby!

[@Coops777]

Thanks Bobby I really enjoyed that. Awesome plane. I'm learning to fly in a Legend Super Cub and love it!!

[@par5eagles975]

really pleasant, informative video, thanks for sharing!

[@AZVIDS]

Nice video, agree with what she said, always smiling having a ball with my Savage Cub-S 180hp....

[@josephliptak]

Love the Super Cub. Fly like the birds.

[@redstone51]

Excellent video. Thank you.

[@ilyasait9346]

Such a beautiful supercub!!!

[@donaldholman9070]

Very cool plane. Great video. Thank you!

[@CorbinAce]

Don't know how I got here but thanks u-tube. I started flying @ King Aviation in East Taunton Ma. 2200 ft. grass runway. (Now "East Taunton municipal A. P ".) Electric wires crossed one end, 50' trees at the other end. I started flying in a Aeronca 7EC. When starting X country I switched to the Super cruiser. July 4th 1958 @ Edgar Town airport Martha's Vineyard Ma. took my flight test in the PA12 Super Cruiser. Holds a soft spot in my heart. It is a cool airplane. Heavy to flair but still cool to fly. Not to leave out: $12.00 -$16.00 dual, $500.00 total, TO GET MY PP CAA, TICKET. LOL

[@johnmajane3731]

I towed gliders with a stock PA-18-150. It was a late seventies model if I remember correctly. The seats were really uncomfortable, felt like I was sitting on a board. I had to use a pillow under my butt. Great performer.

[@musictheoryexcel7578]

Excellent Tamara 1

[@andreacampana4754]

Nice video and good flying!

[@bruce2357]

My start in aviation in 1980 was via gliders. The tow plane of choice at that time was Super Cubs. I've spent a lot of time behind Super Cubs but never in one.

Tamara you have what I've always wanted to fly in since I was a kid and with The 180 hp besides the 150 hp I would love to get recurrence in this one ..

[@MetalTeamster]

WOW! I sure like this gal... Not another one like her anywhere... what an awesome instructor she must be....

[@donaldholman9070]

Do they charge less at the airport when you don’t use as much runway?

[@gunsaway1]

She is a beautiful plane.

[@jmkenny]

That's one badass tail wheel pilot!

[@Subbacultcha100]

Great video, love the Cub. Although original bush plane? Not even close!

[@Trevor_Austin]

Virtually all of my Super Cub time was towing gliders. They are good tow planes but suffer from poor external vision, there are too many blind spots. But they are good at operating from rough, bumpy strips. The 180 version is also a bit of a pain as there is an avoid band in the middle of the useful RPM range. Top tip 1 - You haven’t finished flying it until the next pilot gets in or you have put it away in the hangar. Top tip 2 - If you do extreme side-slips to the right, open the left hand window.

[@Coepilot]

The cub is one of my favourite aircraft! Nothing beats a sunset flight along the beach with the side open... 👌✈️ Loving the videos all the way from South Coast in the UK! 👍

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

The King of STOL. The bush beast . Nice one !

[@richardmason902]

Thanks Bobby. Very interesting. I sent this to my mate.

[@mariemorrissey9378]

Yeah another interesting episodes of Flying Doddles!

[@garywalker447]

Cubs and Super Cubs are great little aircraft but they are far from the "Original Bush Plane". The Cub dates to 1938, long after Bush pilots were flying Curtis Jennys, Fokkers, various flying boats. The Norseman flew in 1935 but I do not know if any were bush flying before the end of WW2.

[@SVSky]

Get your tailwheel endorsement! Do a Citabria or Decathalon sometime!

[@aviatorsteve5649]

Very nice nice competent pilot 👍 Steve.

[@unclemuir]

I got a lot of rides in a Super Cub before I got my ticket. I used to love grass strips.

[@jimcripps3612]

I did some tailwheel training on a Supercub at Clacton in England and although it was ok I found a couple of things that I did not like. One was how hard it was to get in and out the other was the high pitch forces and how quick you had to be with the trimmer. I understand that the Carboncub has an electric trim which they state makes things easier. However I did enjoy the experience. Regards, Jim in NI UK

[@daadirmxccabdiqaadir7461]

absolutely it is amazing bush plane, i cannot imagine how iam happy with this plane, what made me astonished is landing on every flat ground and need no long runway to take off actually i can say it is unique and unchallangable plane, i can say it is bush taxi

[@trinipilot2246]

Pretty cool video Bobby!! Love the Cub, it really is a cool fun aircraft. I would love to have one myself!! Thanks

I've never flown a cub but they sure are appealing to me. I have pasture that's just waiting for one. 😎

[@jhaedtler]

I love Cubs, Mostly J-3's!

[@jimmykingsborough6549]

Great plane, great video. I would cut those couple trees on final for the grass runway option though. Thanks

[@cfimom]

Wish we could convince the owner to do so... but majority of course use the pavement so not a problem lol

[@davidcole333]

Orrr....folks could use the actual runway and NOT cut the trees.

[@veanwhitcher7867]

Love the Super Cub, STO

[@ak_5698]

I usually follow you on Sailing Doodles and this vlog popped up. Now your talking my language. Come to Alaska and Ill take you flying in my Supercub on floats. Also, check my videos of flying my cub. Thanks Bobby for doing these videos. I am hooked.

[@wstafco]

Great video Bobby. Tamara provided a great demo. Very inspiring!

[@michaelcordero5588]

She's gorgeous! I have to said it. :)

[@nhojcam]

I think I would like to take lessons from Tamara! I have 17 hours in Cessnas and a Tecnam toward my PPL, but life happened over the last couple of years and I never got around to finishing. I have never flown a TD'er, but sure would like to! Looks like a blast!

Solo’d a j5 last year, and am currently flying with a friend with a super cub on 35’s, in Alaska. Awesome airplanes

Great flight!! Bobby get in touch with Trent Palmer and do a flight with with the Flying cowboy's in his Kit Fox with a Rotax 915IS . Much like a super cub but cheaper to buy and fly. Love your channels, CHEERS Steve h.

Mike Patey is building a monster Cub. He's on KZbin so check him out. Hasn't she been on before with a different airplane? Nice video. Thanks Bobby.

[@dmb25108]

Gotta love seeing these beautiful birds fly but the cub is the second best bush plane ever built, the beaver just out does the cub. Not saying the cub isn’t a great plane.

[@pauleyplay]

Two different platforms & missions. Not fair to compare. Yes I have many hours in a beaver, The best skydiver plane I have flown. I also own a Super Cub for many years. Both loads of fun, Just different.

[@alcourtines4707]

Bobby, Stick with your sailing adventures, that’s what you do best! Eye problems? WTF wants to see that? Ok, prove me wrong.

[@PDZ1122]

Yes, I like Cubs. To a degree. They seem to have acquired a mythical reputation that they don't deserve. They land and take off as short as anything else with similar power and similar wing loading and it flies slower than most. It's got no room inside, not much space to carry anything. And crappy visibility And if you're the poor guy who has to fix them (me...) you'll curse them all day long. Everything is a giant pain to access, the control system is horribly archaic etc etc. On a J3, having to remove the engine to remove the boot cowl to get the tank out - stupid design. Don't get that whole Cub clone thing either; they keep most of the shortcomings an slap an insane price sticker on it.

[@pauleyplay]

Very well said & I own one. No room, limited range & a few other short comings That is why I have owned a 185 for years. Takes over for the cub when needed. Must not forget the beaver. I had the privilege of flying skydivers with the beaver. Fell in love with it. Little slow for cross country. Overall in 50 years of flying the beaver has a edge by a small margin, What do I know ????
