USAF L-4

 



D-Day activities at the Silent Wings Museum included exhibits and rides. For a fee, one could fly in a vintage C-47 or B-25.  On display was a Piper Cub Grasshopper hat was used as an observation plane during WWII.  The L-4 was the Air Force version of the Piper Cub in which many a pilot learned to fly.  We asked Pop if he wanted a ride; he replied that he'd logged his share of hours -- free and courtesy of the US Marine Corps!
