I stopped by the airport while out on an errand run, and discovered a 
pristine 1946 Piper J-3 Cub at the gas pump.? This is the same model in 
which I did all of my flight training in 1957-58.? The big difference 
between the one I flew and this one is that this one has 50% more 
horsepower and a radio.? The owner said it was bought new by his uncle, 
and, except for a brief period, has been owned by his family.

The owner offered to snap a picture of me with the Cub.
