Re: J3's Grow in trees

Looks like an interesting job for a crane operator, hopefully one who flies! That would be the safe way to pluck that out of there.

Re: J3's Grow in trees

How, and why, is it that it's always Cubs that end up in spots like this? A Cessna or anything else would be a smouldering crater.

We raised goats for a while when I was a kid, and they did the same thing. Always stuck somewhere where they weren't supposed to be.

I bet when the sheriff's office got the call for a cub stuck in a tree, they initially contacted Fish & Wildlife.... :D

Re: J3's Grow in trees

When I flew RCs we had to shoot a couple of them out of the trees, takes a surprising amount of shots to blow apart a big cottonwood branch :shock:

Re: J3's Grow in trees

Please don't pick on the Cub drivers...just remember in his logbook he has one more Takeoff than he has Landings..I know about such things..with Cubs..this can happen!

Re: J3's Grow in trees

Back in the 1960's (I don't remember exactly when) someone crashed a PA-12 into a ponderosa pine along skalkaho road north east of Hamilton Montana. The plane stayed there for about 15 years before someone hauled it down for "salvage" and rebuilt it.

What a perfect opportunity to refine those landing skills. The instructor said not to put it in the trees...
That's what true BUSH PILOTS are made off.

I lost this little yellow RC airplane years ago, obviously it got interference and just kept going straight an level until it was out of sight.
Always imagined it hanging in the trees somewhere, fully intact, just waiting to fall on some poor deers head. So this is how far it made it?
