Great aeroplane!

Nicely done video!

When I was in law school I was offered a great job in South Carolina. Alas, I had to establish residency in South Carolina to take the bar exam there that summer or wait 6 more months after moving.

Having two aircraft available to me, in December I rented a house in Camden, SC, got a SC driver's license, changed my car tags, registered to vote, sold my house in Georgia, etc. My wife moved to Camden and got a job.

I was enrolled in Law School at Mercer University in Macon, Georgia. I commuted from Camden, S.C. in either a J-3 Cub or an old V tail Bonanza, depending on what was available. I did it for six months, usually cutting classes on Monday and flying to Macon on Tuesday morning at zero dark thirty and flying back immediately after classes on Friday. I kept every receipt for gas, my flight plans, everything and was able to prove (to the amazement of the Supreme Court of South Carolina who officially questioned my residency) that I actually lived the majority of the time in South Carolina.

While the Bonanza was fast, the Cub was a true joy. I knew which farmer had gone to market, who had deer in his fields, which churches had active congregations.... all along the black top roads of the Southeast.

Lord, do I love a J-3!

I had access to a 90 Cub when I learned to fly, put in a lot of enjoyable time with it. It was s real performer. Got my private in it on floats and land rating on skis.
