Thomas R. Cuthbert Jr. Ph.D from Greenwood, AR seen here in 1945 flying a J-3 Cub at 16 yrs old in Life magazine. Today, 65 years later, he takes the controls of the Conch Republic Air Force J-3 and flew it like he owned it. “It was great flying with Tom” says Fred R. Cabanas, “It was like he never quit flying.” We are honored to fly with a veteran of aviation.

Thanks again for a great experience today, bridging 65 years of my life. Now I look forward to the first half of May 2012, when I may get to fly with you in an SNJ – without landing it on aircraft carrier!

Best wishes always,

Tom and Ernestine Cuthbert
