When I was visiting the Washington Warren Field Airport last weekend, my friend Wayne Woolard asked me if I wanted to take a ride. Now, I’m about as bad as a dog when someone asks if I want to go ride; but it’s even worse when it involves an airplane — even MORE when it’s a 1956 Piper PA-18 Super Cub. So, hell yea, I went;^) I grinned a lot and took these photos April 16, 2022.
