Hello To All!

Hello, I just wanted to introduce myself. After months of "lurking" on this site, 43 years of flying others people's planes I took the plunge and purchased a PA18-150 in August. It is my first airplane I have owned myself. Your discussions here sold me that the Super Cub was the right airplane for me and I am impressed with the commradre of Cub owners and especially on this site. When I am all "checked in" and "checked out" so to speak I will post some pictures of my Cub. I look forward to your advice and encouragement.:smile:
 
Welcome on board.

A Cub will put a grin on your face that will last all week.

No better airplane for just embracing the joy of flight.

Welcome to the site. Great place to hang out. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. From the sounds of it, you might be getting up there with so of us old farts. Keep flying and having fun. Post some pictures and have some fun on the forum.
 
Now all we have to do is get you to go to some flyins and meet some of us goof balls.
Welcome aboard!
 
Welcome,

Might want to keep it away from the coast for a bit I think. Seems you folks have had some great x-wind training recently.

You might want to be looking up fly-in, like the one coming in Feb(?) in texas at Pierce's, good training for owners on how to take care of the bird. Nothing like having your own cub to love!
 
GeeB, ignore most of those that greeted you already. They are outlaws. Follow my lead and you will be fine.

Welcome. Good choice of places to hang out in retirement. Delta?
I live just down the road from you in Cumming. Live/fly out go 6GA0. Stoney Point Airfield.
Shoot me a PM and we can get together with our Cubs.

Lou Furlong
 
Thank you all for your warm welcome. I am appreciative and I am sure I don't need "tall boots" just a good sense of humor.


Lou, not retired, still riding for "THE brand" in the ATL. I am very close to your location. I will PM you.
 
Hi new member

Now, GeeBee, all the above is genuine: (1) no one can knock the SC for joy and (2) there are lots of wonderful people and places to go to. Have you considered a sort-of mini-Alaska without the mountains? Where there's real fishing, hunting, flying in wide open spaces? No snakes, heats and droughts, among people who make no distinctions of character because of what you believe or drink.

So here's your invitation to Nova Scotia, sticking out like a raft in the North Atlantic, the first settled of Canada by Europeans, first to bring responsible government and freedom of the press to the British North American colonies, where I look over a harbour of wild Atlantic salmon, sea-run brookies, rainbow and browns, oysters, free for the taking.

Yeah, I know that I sound like a Texan. But who's got anything against Texans? And, if you should go to floats at Lake Lanier, I'm flying a 180hp Bushmaster on floats, parked on a dolly at the bottom of the hill. As for your age, 43 years plus 20-some makes you a youngster. Life is always just beginning. I'm 81 who started nearly 60 years ago in a J3 on floats. My instructor was shot down in WW1.

Actually I am starting to plan a trip to the Canadian Maritimes. I pass over them every week, so they have my interest. I need to get a station license and some 12 inch numbers to get legal. I have been studying the past few weeks, so I may make a trip up there next summer. I just finished ferrying the Super Cub from Port Angeles to ATL. 4 day trip. Lots of fun.

I wave once in awhile as you go over.....ME74 and KMLT. Do stop in sometime. Bring Lou with you as there is plenty of room at the lake. We'll round up some other characters and negotiate our way over to Nova Scotia.
 
Welcome aboard Gee Bee, this is a great group of people! I'm in upper east TN, come on up and we'll fly the mountains. Lou knows the way.

GeeBee, you're one of those angels who relayed message "safe in woods" to Halifax Centre to my wife when weathered-in on hunting and fishing trips! The Speedbirds (BOAC) signed off with a cheery "Good Night."
 
Welcome to the forum and congrats on the supercub purchase. Thats a dream I hope to achieve one day I just have to retire from the AF and figure out what to do when I grow up!
 
HIYA GeeBee!:howdy

Welcum to the wunnerful world of SuperCubbin' not to mention one'a the :up PREMIERE aviation websites in the world! :tup: (Our WorldWide Grand PoohBah of SupperCubbers EverWhere allus needs a liddle extra "stroking". But, just like that other "Wizard" from Kansas, the man behind the curtain here is also a benevolent soul...)

Them Canadian maritimes are purty alluring alright. But...I mean...after all. They ARE still CANADIAN. eh? I'm with Torch. Top 'er off an' head for ALASKA! Even "widget" drivers are welcumed there!:wink:

CONGRATS on yer acquisition GeeBee.
