It’s been a very long time – the better part of 30 years – since I went up in a light plane. I’d forgotten what fun it could be!
My cousin Wendy has a Piper Cub that was originally built in 1947 and has been completely rehabbed. She flies quite a bit (needless to say!), and took me up for a great ride this weekend. We went up over the Great Salt Lake on the way to Logan airfield, where the local pilots have a breakfast every Saturday. I don’t have anything to compare it to, but they seem to have a big aviation community in the Salt Lake area: lots of nice folks and great airplanes.
Flying in the Cub made me start thinking again of building my own plane, a dream I’ve had since I was young. It’s probably a pipe dream, but…who knows?
Anyway, I just wanted to share a few pics of our trip (I took tons, but don’t want to bore you with them all!) – hope you enjoy them!
