First time I saw this was in 1972 when my uncle, Marion Cole, did it at a small-town airshow. always enjoy seeing it again.

10 years ago! I've been there in 2012 the year before this video and saw that too. I remember seeing it land on the bridge. This years fly in is going on right now! I saw the planes at the fly in last year in 2022 and 2021 too.

I had the good fortune to see Stan Segalla perform his Flying Farmer act at Old Rhinebeck Aerodome about 20+ years ago. These acts are always great fun and really shows off the J-3's abilities!!!! Great flying in this one!! Thank you for sharing this!!!

There's just something about this little yellow airplane that brings us so much joy! 😁😁

Great bit of flying. I used to fly with my dad in a Piper Cub. It was so fun. I really miss those days!! Does anyone remember Grace 'the Ace' Page? She used to do airshows like this years ago. Met her when I was in high school in Zellwood, FL.

Quite a strong, nimble, forgiving, little plane. I'm totally impressed. Great flying Greg.

This video takes place on the William T Piper Memorial airport in Lock Haven Pa. (KLHV) This is the location where the Piper Cubs were built for many years. At one end of the field is the Piper Memorial Museum, and if you ever get to fly here, be sure to visit the museum, it is worth the flight!

My Uncle Bob McComb did this same type act as Uncle Fud. He would be sweeping the apron and tell them to move this airplane or he would move it himself. He accidentally took off and the fun started. At one point, he was in slow flight low over the runway and you could see him sitting backwards while he flew. He was an Army/Air Force flight instructor during WW2.

Amazing, Barnstormer-like performance .. THUMBS UP !!!!

I have seen them in person at airshows several times. I am a pilot, so I appreciate the talent it takes to do the antics they do to make it "appear" as though he doesn't know how to fly! :)

Great piloting..very nice..the clipper cub can be so grateful

In 1979 I soloed in a J3 Cub, built 9 years before I was born. What a joy the cub is/was to fly. It isn't the fastest or sexiest, and certainly not over-powered at all, but it has taught millions and continues to thrill to this day. I should have bought one years ago.

My dad was a WW2 pilot. As a kid, my earliest memories were doing things with him. One of my favorite memories is flying under the thousand Island bridge at Alexandria Bay, NY. We had an old Cub built before the war. I know the announcer was terrible and the guy makes the people living in rural America look bad but if you notice, no women or minorities were offended so I guess it is ok as long as you make fun of white men.

Quite an act, great flying!

nice, beautiful, Amazing, love it

Yeah fucking so hillarious. Can’t believe the whole world does not already know.

Saw this in Burlington Vermont one time. When he came back from behind a tree line he was dragging a clothesline full of laundry behind him. The pilot was a farmer needing to get back home to milk the cows.

While working my garden, I have had the pleasure of watching Greg Koontzdemonstrate his flying skills. Always a delight when I hear his plane overhead.

My first lesson was in a cub.That was superb flying

Immer wieder toll anzusehen. ;-)

Thanks for the video, awesome job.

saw these guys in va at the flying circus they were great does things w that plane that blew my mind and your right the announcer suked it was a long time ago glad to see they are still alive and well and still doing their thing

At Scot AF base airshow in 1960's as a kid - I saw a guy flying a Piper Cub doing comedy skits. He at one point flew the plane SIDEWAYS! To this day I still haven't figured out how he did that!

Back in the 60's I was lucky enough to see Captain Dick Schram, aka "The Flying Professor", do his hilarious act in a Cub. He was a Naval Reservist and flew airshows all over the country, always in a locally borrowed Cub. He would come out in a top hat and tails with a huge book marked "How To Fly". After a pilot got out of a Cub he had started and had idling "just to warm up" according to the announcer, he climbed in and started his act. He was unfortunately killed during his act in the late 60's while his son, another Naval Aviator, was announcing the show.

The cub was made in the 1940s, it's amazing that they are still being used after over 60 years.

9/26/21, thx Mr. McAndrew. Great phunn! Love the son & dad wearin matchin hats & suspenders, keepin it real as a family event should be. Nice to laugh and eye thank you.

Video chia sẻ của bạn điều khiển phi cơ rất điêu luyện và nghệ thuật rất cao hay lắm mình rất thích, cảm ơn bạn chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.

Dean is a Great Pilot ... Bill Barber used to do a truck top landing in his clipped wing cub at Airshows across the Midwest

Seen them at Robins Air Force Base in 2019 pre-COVID, they were a hoot!

Absolutely beautiful, I must now acquire my sport license and a cub!!! My wife's going to be really pissed off when I step up from old military trucks to old airplanes.

Great job. Thank

The late great Art Scholl did an air show gag where he walks onto the field as a drunken bum and steals a Piper Cub and takes off. He then flew it mostly about four feet off the ground sort of weaving around some and making flat turns with the wings level. Quite funny to see. And there was some fairly small structure on the other side of the runway and at that near zero altitude he flies around it and of course disappears behind it briefly. A very odd and funny thing to see.

I saw this at Oshkosh 2015 and I couldn't believe he landed on that truck.

just love watching a great Pilot doing that flying stuff..#1 ichy Bon

Krasse Landung, Respekt

very amazing

Charlie Kulp ruled in his time. My poppa does a perfect loop in his cub special.

GENIAL Y LYKE

Hi, great show, one query, the one on the video is equipped with a Continental A-65? Regards.

Very good

Some cubs were built as trainer aircraft for the military during World War II. During the war however the North American AT6 Texan seemed to be the trainer that the U.S. military chose until the t-28 Trojan became a new trainer aircraft to replace some of the at6 Texans.

Thật sự rất tuyệt vời, sự thể hiện rất điêu luyện, cảm ơn video chia sẻ của bạn rất hay chúc bạn sức khỏe và hạnh phúc.

this pilot is off the wall amazing

A pilot from Plattsburgh NY in the early 70's had this same act. Pickup and all

I remember watching this with my friends on top of a tree back in 2014 the memories

I enjoyed watching him fiy very good

Rich people in rich country...life is blissful

LOVE IT MAN. AN RCR

wait this looks like the place i saw it what year was this made?

PERFECT ÓTIMO SHOW PILOT EXCELENT 👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 🇧🇷

Ths went oooonnnn.... and ooonnn.... and oooonnnn. Slightly humerous about twenty years ago.

The ghost of Art Scholl. RIP

$2.00 mic foam.would do wonders.

"Wait a second!? What's Grandpa doing with that gun?"

Real flying starts at 8:45 in and best if watched with the hokey narration and volume down.

Done many a loop in them thangs! There was a Mr. Mallette (can't recall his first name for some reason; I believe his son was Ray... or maybe that was HIS name) from Southern Alabama who did a good show with them; World's Smallest Airport, etc. I believe it ended when his buddy was piloting while Mallette climbed down a rope ladder, had a heart attack, and fell.

You have to be GOOD to fly that BAD ! Amazing landing.....how in the world does the plane stay on the platform once it touches down ? What keeps it from rolling off?

Wow wow Wow very very talented pilot

You've got to be really good to make iy look like you don't have a clue.

1975, I saw a guy in a Cub like this called Colonel Blunderbird. He sat still and lifted the tail off the ground. At about 500 feet he pulled a cable and the right aileron fell off. He flew by and scraped the left wing tip, flew up and half of the elevator flew off, then rolled down the strip on one wheel. The guy was pretty fantastic. Ever heard of him?

So to get the aircraft off the truck and back on the ground, do they fly it back off the truck first?

Nice landing!

I guess even a big boy can fly a light sport. That's good news for me as I'm no midget and I would love to get my hands on a luscombe.

Cheesey!

PIPER CUB 1963 Nov 22nd Dallas

Looks a lot like Charlie Kulp's old 'flying farmer' routine at the Flying Circus in Bealeton Va. years ago.

le départ à été laborieux!!!!!

the dude is a good pilot, lol

Yeller!!😁😄😄

20:10 And that, folks, is how you load an airplane!!

I think I took a video of this same act, same day. I was at the end of the runway, towards town.

Niiiceeee

Gotta be Genius or Crazy!

How do they get the plane off the truck, big crane?

FABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

Thats impressive.

A Cub with a starter motor?

Back in the 1960s I attended an air show in Reading Pennsylvania. I saw this exact scenario with a "clip-wing" Piper but the pilot was killed when he tried to loop too close to the ground. I don't remember the pilot's name.

funny and entertaining

THIS one was YELLER!!!! Bwahahahahahahahahahah!!!!!

If it belongs to Dan, why does it say Greg on the side?

Assalomu alaykum men uzb danman samalyot yasayabman lekin matorini topa olmayabman qayerdan topsam boʻladi iltimos biladiganlar yordam beringizlar?

This is how most hot-shot model fliers do it all the time.

Great Video Keith! I've seen him fly many times and he's such a great J-3 Pilot! But I've got to say...the announcer sucks. Lol. He could have done better with trying to fool the audience. Lol. They will be at the airshow in Rome Ga. this weekend alone with the Thunderbirds and Patty Wagstaff and a lot more great pilots. God bless!

As a engineer it amazes me how mush stress five eights I. D. Tubing with seven eighths O.D. can take.

Does anyone recall the Flying Professor?

I don't remember the airplane having a starter.

Wow can see why these planes so popular, stable or what

NUTZ

Too bad that the camera operator failed to show the best part of the show.....the touchdown!

Have seen this act several times. This is the very worst narration I have heard.

I was at this same event it wasfunny

I somehow missed the funny part.

....la congrega dei furbi...

It seems like I have seen this 100 times in the last 50 years. It was a lot better when I was a kid because I didn't realize how bad an actor the announcer is.

kornie,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Great act by Greg Koontz, I've seen it before... But that announcer was so basis against the southern stereo type... It was a little upsetting.

beautiful aircraft, terrible video..
