cool J-3 landing

That's a PA-18. Don't think the weak J-3 would have been able to do that. Although impressive, the only thing that comes to my mind: There are old pilots and bold pilots, but there are no old bold pilots.

Charlie and his daughter came to visit me at the museum this past spring, Vin. Lots of fun to talk with. He lives here in Virginia.

The only thing I did not like is that it appeared like he got below glideslope on the final approach and then went to full power to try to get back on it at the end. Not sure why he did that because if he touched down long he simply would have gone to full power and did a touch and go. He had plenty of altitude off the end of the runway that he did not even have to back the plane up to takeoff despite being near the lip of the ridge.

The approach was pretty normal for an upward slope and the altitude/density. Having flown with an old friend who's been a Bush/Seaplane Pilot in that region upwards of 20 years, I got a taste of that kind of flying and unique skill those guys have. Those guys land on slivers of nothing next to waters and steep abyss's every day. To be perfectly honest, it isn't something I found overly enticing as I would have 20 years ago. Hats off to them though. :salute:
