A Cub
owner participating in the annual "Sentimental Journey" fly-in (Lock
Haven, PA) enjoys a favorite trip, viewing the town of Hyner, 22
miles northwest of Piper Memorial Airport. The time of day indicates
that it's time to start the return trip. By the time this pilot gets
back, the ridgeline will be blotting out the last of the days'
sunlight across the field. Piper know-it-alls will understand the
tail number's significance. Two-two-eight-two mike was the last J-3
Cub Piper built (1947). The number was reassigned a few years ago,
and now adorns a hot-air balloon, possibly an even slower aircraft
than the Cub! |
