Jeff_S Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I saw this story on the AOPA website today and spent the time to view the 5 minute video. It turns out JFK trained for 10 days in J-3 seaplanes while temporarily stationed in Miami after his PT-boat incident. You can view the story for yourself here: https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2018/may/30/erau-historian-solves-jfk-mystery What I really enjoyed was they have a picture of his actual log book and you can see all the things he did on his flights. He soloed very quickly, which I know was much more common in those days. On his second flight he was introduced to spins! (But yes, in a Cub they are quite a bit different than a Mooney.)

Yooper Rocketman Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 I read that this morning too. Enjoyed the piece of history. (Actually, I enjoy almost all history. Probably because I'm OLD). Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thinwing Posted June 2, 2018 Report Share Posted June 2, 2018 I can't imagine spinning a cub on floats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
