J-3 Cub across Western Canada

[rhall999]

Ok, so I know it’s not a biplane, but at least it’s not a spam can either And I did find a gorgeous Marquart Charger at one of my fuel stops, a tiny little hole on the wall sorta place called Empress Alberta. Only one hangar and it had the Charger in it!

Anyway....A couple good friends of mine got together and bought themselves a nice and clean J-3C-65 Cub located in southern Manitoba. They asked me if I would go out and inspect it for them and then bring it back to central Alberta. No way I could refuse that!!

621 nautical miles across Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
11 hours flying over 2 days
7 fuels stops
Average ground speed 60 knots
Uncomfortable, sore and tored

And a buttload of fun with 2 very happy new airplane owners at the end.
