Hey everyone! After 14 years owning a Cherokee 180, I decided to shake things up a bit and get my tailwheel. Did my endorsement in a Husky, and although I found it challenging, I’ve flown a lot of aircraft types and knew I could enjoy this type of flying for a long long time. So, I sold the cherokee 180 and picked up a Legend Super Cub! Spent another 5 straight hours flying patterns, (the neighbors probably weren’t too pleased) and am ready for wherever my new baby wants to take me!

Not much to tell really. Was a long time armed security officer for some nuclear power plants and decided to change careers. A life long aviation fanatic, and wanted to be a pilot since I was a little kid, so I went for that. Bought a Cherokee 180 and used it to get my PPL, then did Private, Instrument, and commercial in Helicopters, and was just starting CFI and life had changed quite a bit. Now with Two kids (both with autism), and daycare costing us about $30K a year, my wife and I made the decision to have a full time parent at home.. Her career was far more lucrative, so I had to put mine "on hold". (no more helicopter career for me...) Luckily, She still lets me fly for fun. As I said, after 14 years owning the Cherokee 180, I was looking for a little change so we got rid of the Cherokee and picked up something a little more fun! Currently own this cub and an Evolution trikes Revolt, which I may end up selling. The weather where I live, and my schedule with the kids doesn't lend itself well to a whole lot of Trike flying, but I can fly the cub in any conditions I could have flown the Cherokee...
