C'mon, Cubs go faster than that! I do recall, however, getting my
initial Cub flying around Chicago that with wind conditions right, you
could land and turn off at the approach end taxiway on many days and
with a 100 foot wide runway you could almost always land "into the
wind" by simply flying cross-runway.

I flew a J-3 up at Buffalo, NY in early '43, and recall looking out the side
while doing a little pilotage and observing cars passing me on the ground while
I was indicating about 65 mph. I'll fess up to a 20 mph headwind, so it wasn't
all that outrageous! (^-^)))


As long as we're reminiscing about procedures from the dark ages....

You call talking about T-37s the dark ages? Jeez, you really know how to hurt a
guy! (^-^)))
