My favorite video you’ve ever made. Long live the cub. I absolutely adore my little J-4A. That’s the side by side version of the J-3

Thanks so much Will! Truly glad you enjoyed it! It was quite interesting to explore the roots of the story of J-3, fantastic machine. Would love to fly it some day!
The best one was in a Brand new 1977 Piper Super Cub and love it

Thats awesome i want one lol
Big metal (and fabric) birds.
Love your channel, so let's mention that 11,000 feet is more than 2 miles, and it is more like 350 school buses, not 35 !! No mathematics is needed. Just imagine 2 miles of distance and just 35 school buses!!

The world record is just over 9 feet. I'm not impressed with red bulls gimmick
