Ben put in many hours over this long cold winter on his Piper Cub. He and his father Tom originally began work on it when Ben was 11! It’s been a long time coming but worth the wait. She’s lived in our attic in Norfolk, long-term Navy storage and finally resurfaced here in TN for a full overhaul. I think Luke loves tinkering on the plane almost as much as Ben does, and quite nicely, now three generations have worked on her and made her what she is today. Ben and my father tested the engine over Easter weekend and it ran great. Now the only thing left is to fly it. And whatever happens after that, well, at least we have some good photos of the before!
