Recollections: This entry includes “Super Cubs” manufactured by Piper, as well as sijmilar-looking but newly made and improved Super Cubs built by Cubcrafters of Yakima, WA.  My Cubcrafters flying included certification flight tests and production audits.  

My first supercub flight was in a Seaplane at Kenmore Aviation.  

Most of my Super Cub flights are in one airplane, N333TM, a tow plane operated by the Puget Sound Soaring Association (PSSA), near my home in Seattle.  As of this writing, I’ve towed 311 gliders airborne and look forward to many more years of towing out of this gorgeous, one-way-in-opposite-way-out field nestled against the first line of ridges on the west side of the Cascade Mountains. My logbook shows 57 flights but that’s because flights are all lumped into one day when you’re doing tow operation. I’ve flown N333TM 45 times but done 311 tows.
