I got to fly in a Piper Cub with Dana yesterday and, as I suspected it would be, it was way more fun than any other flying that I've done so far! What a total gas flying low and slow with the windows open, buzzing the corn and trees, full slip approaches 180° from downwind to 3-point landing on wet grass... If this is the way America used to learn to fly, it's no wonder we had so many good stick and rudder pilots.

It was drizzling rain some of the time while we were flying, but the air was calm and cool and the rain kept other traffic away. It cleared up beautifully later in the evening and I could hardly bring myself to stop. We even visited a couple of homebuilders working on their airplane projects at Westosha and Galt. What a great time--thanks Dana!
