"Homecoming Queen"
by Burt Mader
A 1946 J-3 enters downwind for runway 27 at "home"-
W. T. Piper Memorial Airport, in Lock Haven, PA where most Cubs were built.
Veterans of the annual fly-in called "Sentimental Journey to Cub Haven"
will recognize elements of the landscape: the flood- prone Susquehanna
River, the new dike construction (May '93 status) and the old Piper plant,
all lying between the city of Lock Haven and the none-too-distant ridge
which hunches up, often hidden in the near total obscurity of fog or
clouds.
"Sentimental Journey to Cub Haven" is a annual
fly-in attracting hundreds of Cub pilots and visitors to Lock Haven, PA,
home of the Piper Aircraft Corporation for decades. For more information
