It’s an old Piper J3 Cub and has been restored to almost like new condition.    I have flown a lot of different airplanes, but this was the most emotional flight I’ve ever done.  I actually got teary eyed at the realization that I was flying the airplane of my grandfather who I had never met.  To find out why I never met him, check out http://www.propspinner.com/zprop/donald.headings/index.html
