Nikon 1 V1 Potpourri | Super Cub Farewell Yep, it’s yours truly trying to act like a bush pilot. The Piper Super Cub, Alaska’s favorite bush plane, makes for great fun flying, particularly for us Midwest flatlanders. It’s a great performing seaplane on straight or amphibious floats.
The Back Story On the weekend before Oshkosh, a small group of pilots ranging from heavy iron pilots to bush pilots, get together for back to the basics float plane flying. This image comes from one of those weekends, a few years ago. No, it’s not a selfie. It’s a simple click from the dock. My brother grabbed my camera and captured this image. See Floatplane Weekend | a 7 Image Story for more information and images. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.
