Excellent walk around. I own a 1976 Super Cub that was rescued from my good friends hangar with 363 original hours on it. After a complete tear down and rebuild it currently has 495 hours and gets flown almost daily! Nothing beats the feel of a Super Cub.
The first airplane I ever rode in was a PA-12. My Dad took me up in it when I was about five years old. It belonged to his CAP unit in Florida. I've always longed to own a PA-18, but the prices are now insane. Most of my tail-dragging time was in a Luscombe 8E that Dad bought for $2500 in the early 1970s. His first Luscombe had been a factory new 8A that he paid $600 for in the late 1940s. They were practically giving them away because they had built so many of them in anticipation of an expected post-war sales boom that never occurred.
I learned to fly tailwheel airplanes in a Super Cub with a 90 hp, and no starter. Our airport is 52 feet below sea level, so 90 hp seemed like enough power. Do you have any information on the Luscombe that is in the video?
Awesome plane I got to ride in one when I was about eight years old my uncle had worms awesome planes I was born in 1956 Ex Air Force veteran love airplanes but have no desire to fly them I can make enough mistakes on the ground🤣🤣🤣

Yes!
1957, my year of birth 😊. I´m flying a supercub (1954) here in the Netherlands. No fancy stuff, just stick and rudder skills. Great fun!
I’m flying a 1955 Supercub. It’s an unbelievable fun airplane to fly. No fancy stuff. Just fun,fun,fun!!!
Beautiful airplane 👍
