When I began my flying lessons in a Cub in 1957, the flying club charged $4.00 an hour wet (including fuel).

Old Guy Thoughts - That ride in the Cub cost me $5 of my own money.
I was making $0.30 an hour at my after-school job (1946?).

took a look at the airplane.  I appears to have been rebuilt in
Experimental Category to allow modifications. I noted a modern panel, doors
on both sides, what appears to be a baggage compartment door on the left
side, and a custom Mattituck TMX 360 version of the Lycoming 180 hp
engine.  It also has drooped wing tips of modern design.  Everything one
needs to go for a $200 hamburger!
