Piper Cub Display 2012 Vectern Dayton Air Show Dear Rick, This letter is written in follow-up to our recent meeting regarding you're having a Piper Cub 75th Anniversary display at the 2012 Vectren Dayton Air Show (VDAS) on July 7th and 8th. We think this display would be a great addition to the 2012 show. Please consider this letter as a formal invitation for you to participate in the show and proceed with organization. Outlined below is our general understanding and agreement on the display: 1. VDAS will permit one or more Piper Cub aircraft to be placed on static display. The number of aircraft will be determined at a later date depending on availability and aircraft owner interest. It is understood there may be different aircraft Saturday vs. Sunday. Piper Cub dealers are welcome to participate. 2. Aircraft will be positioned in the static display aircraft area on the show grounds. Typically this is a paved area, however, there are some excellent grass areas should that be deemed more desirable by owners. The number of aircraft and display size will determine the final location which is at the sole discretion of VDAS. 3. VDAS will plan to include a single aircraft flyby in the feature show on both Saturday and Sunday to recognize and celebrate the 75th Anniversary. VDAS announcers will provide a commentary during the flyby. The pilot participating in the flyby must be properly rated and qualified in the aircraft make and model. In addition, he or she must attend the show pilot briefing on Saturday and Sunday and sign the show FAA Waiver. Gary Hay, the VDAS Air Boss, will contact the pilot and discuss the flyby operation including applicable wavier conditions. 4. Piper Cub owner participants shall be permitted to hand out Piper Club tattoos and paper cubs to spectators. • www.daytonairshow.com And, Cub pilots, who fly in to display their aircraft will receive VDAS Crew Center credentials. We can eat, talk with, and schmooze with the air show performers and military flight crews. A drawing will be held to decide who gets to participate in the flyby each day. It will be a fun time for all Cub owners who can attend this show. It’s another opportunity to show off your Cub during the 75th anniversary of the J-3 Piper Cub. If you have any questions, use this forum or contact me at hackery@ctcn.net

I am still in need of Cubs for display and to fly just before the air show each day. I have displayed an aircraft there twice and had a great time on both occasions. My Cub will be there but could use some company.

Cub dealers are welcome to display their latest Cub.

As my Cub will be confined to a special kid’s area for a program on the Friday before the show, I can’t leave that area to do the flyby on Saturday and Sunday. Where are the Cub owners who would like to fly their Cub in front of 60 thousand people?

If interested, let me know so that you can be the one who gets to fly that day! If you just want to stay on the ground for display only, that also can be arranged for one day or two.

** Need Cubs on this the 75^th anniversary of the Pipe J-3 Cub **

You Cubs are missing the fun at the Dayton AirShow. Had over 100 kids in my Cub for ground instruction. Tomorrow, as I am the only Cub on the field, I will fly in the AirShow even if it is 100.

Note the Dayton AirShow tag - a picture of a Cub that looks like mine and says "75th Anniversary of the Piper Cub". I am hot but happy!cubdayton.jpg

It was always a fantasy of mine to fly an aircraft in a large air show. I did it today flying a J-3 Cub, using a Sport Pilot license and will get to do it one more time tomorrow!


As soon as I landed the Cub after my Cub demo routine, the Blue Angels were allowed to fly. Because I was a little concerned about the cross winds on 24 right, I took off from what remained of the air show closed 36 after passing the spare Blue Angel 7.



What fun!
