Piper Super Cub - The Original Bush Plane 

What a classic! Classy airplane, classy lady! Love them Cubs!

Bobby, Thank you for the nostalgia. 50 years ago, I was the first airplane to land (in My Polished & Red Cessna 195 which I went on to own for 42 years) on Justin Time Airport now closed. Also, a dear friend owned Flying S airport. I flew the 195 in the opening ceremonies of DFW Airport. A few years before that (1966) I flew a Piper PA-12 from Kansas City to Portland to LA & back. No Radio at all, all Dead Reckoning. Those were the days when Flying was Flying. Gary 77-Year-Old ASEMEL SES A&P IA. In the Beautiful Ozark Mountains of NorthWest Arkansas

She is a very good pilot, thank you for sharing. 👍

Certainly the most extraordinary Super Cub I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks for the show lady.

Tamara is great! what a great episode.

That’s REAL flying. Great video sir, thank you!!

Very nice flight Thanks Tamara really like your Super Cub.

Brings back memories flying with my Uncle in a Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser out of a farm strip. So much fun!

A friend and I had one of these things in the late 80s and the early 90s. It was the most fun ever! Slow down and enjoy the ride! The tail was always a consideration, but once you got used to it, it was a blast! Affordable, too!

Seriously fun flight and video!! Thanks Bobby!

Thanks Bobby I really enjoyed that. Awesome plane. I'm learning to fly in a Legend Super Cub and love it!!

What a nice lady Tamara is!!!! and a beautiful plane BTW!!! Good job Bobby!!!!

s1965 last year of High School, I began flight training in Piper PA-18, 115hp Lycoming, Solo at four hours. Got to 32 hours then drafted to Army. Vietnam. Home safe, married and never finished. Great memories. One flight with instructor, with high winds, throttled back at 3000 feet and just above stall, watched ground and.....going backwards on ground...what a sight.

Seriously, I love this content!

I really like her. The 180 Super Cub has been a workhorse glider tow plane for decades!

Excellent video. Thank you.

Excellent Tamara 1

I love how both Supercubs plane and bike share so many simliarities in their fields.

really pleasant, informative video, thanks for sharing!

Such a beautiful supercub!!!

Very cool plane. Great video. Thank you!

No rival in beauty for a PA18.

Nice video, agree with what she said, always smiling having a ball with my Savage Cub-S 180hp....

Nice video and good flying!

Nice flight!

Thank you for this great IP time.

Beautiful

Wow pumping these vids out, nice

Tamara you have what I've always wanted to fly in since I was a kid and with The 180 hp besides the 150 hp I would love to get recurrence in this one ..

Pretty cool video Bobby!! Love the Cub, it really is a cool fun aircraft. I would love to have one myself!! Thanks

The King of STOL. The bush beast . Nice one !

Thanks Bobby. Very interesting. I sent this to my mate.

I towed gliders with a stock PA-18-150. It was a late seventies model if I remember correctly. The seats were really uncomfortable, felt like I was sitting on a board. I had to use a pillow under my butt. Great performer.

AWESOME. Beautiful air plane.

Solo’d a j5 last year, and am currently flying with a friend with a super cub on 35’s, in Alaska. Awesome airplanes

nice, great as expected

Yeah another interesting episodes of Flying Doddles!

I'm glad we had a chance to meet Tamara... today. :-) She was awesome. So friendly and unassuming yet a very knowledgeable pilot! After watching this, who wouldn't want a Cub (or modern clone) on floats to hit every high country lake for a little fly fishing! Kudos Bobby for the great content.

My start in aviation in 1980 was via gliders. The tow plane of choice at that time was Super Cubs. I've spent a lot of time behind Super Cubs but never in one.

Very nice nice competent pilot 👍 Steve.

Love the Super Cub, STO

Love the Super Cub. Fly like the birds.

She is a beautiful plane.

absolutely it is amazing bush plane, i cannot imagine how iam happy with this plane, what made me astonished is landing on every flat ground and need no long runway to take off actually i can say it is unique and unchallangable plane, i can say it is bush taxi

That's one badass tail wheel pilot!

I got a lot of rides in a Super Cub before I got my ticket. I used to love grass strips.

Awesome!

The cub is one of my favourite aircraft! Nothing beats a sunset flight along the beach with the side open... 👌✈️ Loving the videos all the way from South Coast in the UK! 👍

I did some tailwheel training on a Supercub at Clacton in England and although it was ok I found a couple of things that I did not like. One was how hard it was to get in and out the other was the high pitch forces and how quick you had to be with the trimmer. I understand that the Carboncub has an electric trim which they state makes things easier. However I did enjoy the experience. Regards, Jim in NI UK

I think I would like to take lessons from Tamara! I have 17 hours in Cessnas and a Tecnam toward my PPL, but life happened over the last couple of years and I never got around to finishing. I have never flown a TD'er, but sure would like to! Looks like a blast!

Virtually all of my Super Cub time was towing gliders. They are good tow planes but suffer from poor external vision, there are too many blind spots. But they are good at operating from rough, bumpy strips. The 180 version is also a bit of a pain as there is an avoid band in the middle of the useful RPM range. Top tip 1 - You haven’t finished flying it until the next pilot gets in or you have put it away in the hangar. Top tip 2 - If you do extreme side-slips to the right, open the left hand window.

I've never flown a cub but they sure are appealing to me. I have pasture that's just waiting for one. 😎

Don't know how I got here but thanks u-tube. I started flying @ King Aviation in East Taunton Ma. 2200 ft. grass runway. (Now "East Taunton municipal A. P ".) Electric wires crossed one end, 50' trees at the other end. I started flying in a Aeronca 7EC. When starting X country I switched to the Super cruiser. July 4th 1958 @ Edgar Town airport Martha's Vineyard Ma. took my flight test in the PA12 Super Cruiser. Holds a soft spot in my heart. It is a cool airplane. Heavy to flair but still cool to fly. Not to leave out: $12.00 -$16.00 dual, $500.00 total, TO GET MY PP CAA, TICKET. LOL

Great video Folks, I like the old U.K. telephone Box by the Hanger

😊 that was fun

She's gorgeous! I have to said it. :)

I love Cubs, Mostly J-3's!

Do they charge less at the airport when you don’t use as much runway?

Get your tailwheel endorsement! Do a Citabria or Decathalon sometime!

Fue y sigue siendo un gran avión el primer ultra ligero de la historia para profesionales de gigantescas prestaciones emocionante el volarlo

Please look for a Mooney M22! there are hardly any recordings of the Mustang. Also exciting would be a Ryan Navion greetings from Switzerland

Instructor, Robert Lakin, ex military fighter pilot who was with me on that flight "backwards".

Cool video, I've always wanted to fly a tail dragger. Bobby you should get Epic to take you up in the E1000. I'm sure all of your subscribers would like that.

I remember you flying the Piper Aztec

Great video Bobby. Tamara provided a great demo. Very inspiring!

Great plane, great video. I would cut those couple trees on final for the grass runway option though. Thanks

Great video, love the Cub. Although original bush plane? Not even close!

"She climbs like nobody business "😂😂😂

Cubs and Super Cubs are great little aircraft but they are far from the "Original Bush Plane". The Cub dates to 1938, long after Bush pilots were flying Curtis Jennys, Fokkers, various flying boats. The Norseman flew in 1935 but I do not know if any were bush flying before the end of WW2.

nice

I usually follow you on Sailing Doodles and this vlog popped up. Now your talking my language. Come to Alaska and Ill take you flying in my Supercub on floats. Also, check my videos of flying my cub. Thanks Bobby for doing these videos. I am hooked.

Great flight!! Bobby get in touch with Trent Palmer and do a flight with with the Flying cowboy's in his Kit Fox with a Rotax 915IS . Much like a super cub but cheaper to buy and fly. Love your channels, CHEERS Steve h.

WOW! I sure like this gal... Not another one like her anywhere... what an awesome instructor she must be....

Mike Patey is building a monster Cub. He's on RU-vid so check him out. Hasn't she been on before with a different airplane? Nice video. Thanks Bobby.

I'm doing my TD endorsement in a Super Cub next week. Too bad Tamara won't be my CFI. :)

Grew up in Alaska in the early 60's. My Dad, Bob flew with many bush pilots. He was a regional site supervisor for the White Alice DEW line. He knew Don Sheldon. Thank you Captain Bob for the vlog as worked great with memories on the Father's day!

Cool lady. Cool plane. ✌🇺🇲

My kind of flight instructor

👍👍

Nice herpe.

Hey Bobby, how's the medical certificate coming? Any progress?

Fox Aviation I would love to come out

Good strong headwind and you can fly backwards too. Lol

Beautiful flight! She can handle that Super Cub for sure. I would love to fly with her!

👍 👍 👍

I learn to fly in this kind of plane. I soloed in PA-18 100 hp . I have about 100 hrs in a PA - 18.

152s can’t beat her in a STOL competition! ☺️

Portly.......The ol cub.

Where can I get one of those shirts?

Hey Bobby! I’m sure this has been asked before, but will you ever be able to get your license again?

Gotta love seeing these beautiful birds fly but the cub is the second best bush plane ever built, the beaver just out does the cub. Not saying the cub isn’t a great plane.

That tail only wants get away because you have it in the air.... three point and you wont have that problem.

What's goin' on?? When I was an 18 year-old kid, first finding out about tailwheels, the CFI always flew from the back seat. Is nothing sacred? =PC=

I'd love to have a Super Cub. Unfortunately even the really hold ones really are holding their value $$.

There’s NUTHIN more fun than a Cub! I learned to fly in a rag-tag old Cub. I took my 1st lesson in a J3 and it was love at 1st flight. I was only 14 at the time so I had to kill a bunch of flying time goofing around with my instructor till my 16th birthday but I learned a lot about flying from that. My second hour I made the mistake of asking my instructor if he could spin the airplane. He said sure and we started climbing. This airplane had a 65 hp Continental with a wooden cruise prop tied to the front so it took what seemed like a day and a half to reach altitude. He yelled over his shoulder “How hi can you count?” I being a smart kid said “Uuhh I dunno” he pulled the carb heat idled the throttle and nosed up to a stall. Again he called over his shoulder “ when the nose points at the ground, you start counting every time it makes a complete rotation, got it?” I never answered because by that time we were pointed at the ground going round and round. I counted to 17 and he recovered laughing “ you count pretty good!” I love the Cub.
