Hi just joined Back Country Pilot , and working on my tailwheel endorsement at andover aeroflex in the J3 cub . I have really learned alot
about airplanes and how real pilots fly there planes, also its great to know that you can still get top notch instruction, and not feel like a piece of meat like you sometimes can at some of the 141 schools.
But that aside I'am looking foward to some good east coast flying and hopefully some good connections back east here .

christopher,
Congratulations on your tailwheel instruction. I've heard good things about andover aeroflex. There are a number of good eastern fly-ins for tailwheel pilots and a few of those pilots hang out here. If you remain interested in cubs, attend the Sentimental Journey fly-in in Lock Haven, PA in June of each year. There used to be an outfit that rented cubs and champs at Fredrick but they went out of business some years ago -- too bad.
I fly out of MRB not far from you.

Jim thanks for the reply . Mrb, I now do alot of my flying between Fdk and there, ever since the adiz came into the area all of us moved west a little bit, we used to have a good circuit going on fdk gai westminster or clearview for good short field practice and back to fdk . I'll check out
lockhaven next summer thanks for the tip , and is that your plane in
the picture .

Welcome, I actually bought my 170 from frederick, and base it at freeway airport in bowie. I lust posted a message about a strip in pa. you should check out. Ha Ha were gainin on the westerners

Dusty yeah those westerners dont now what 1000 agl mountains and sea level flying is all about Ha Ha, but its nice to know there are guys around here with the western state of mind. is your 170 tailwheel ? any good grass strips your way? we currently have a warrior we fly alot to ocean city but i would like to add a super cub to our tie down.

Maximum climb performance certainly has its advantages doesn't it Been to a couple grass strips on the eastern shore like laurel in delaware and Spring Hill thats a private strip just behind Bennett which is also grass. If you go the other direction Mexico Farms in Cumberland is a neat grass strip. Unfortunately most of our little out of the way strips are private. All of our natural resources guys ride boats, kind of limits the need for airstrips.

A 170 without a tailwheel is a 172 . Low in slow in a cub over the Appalachians, I'm going to need a minute.
