Hamilton High School’s Caleb French, recipient of a $10,000 Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association grant scholarship, has already begun putting that scholarship to work.
On vacation in Fairbanks, Alaska, Caleb discovered a flight school with a Cub on floats and was able to fly it.
“It was amazing!” Caleb told local instructor Charles Lackey. “It was really weird having the floats on it while flying, I had to use a whole lot more rudder, and it kind of lagged behind. Otherwise, it was really just a normal Cub.
