The author reminisces about his time in The Citadel's 1966 Flying Club, specifically detailing his first solo flight and how an aerial photograph taken from the yellow Piper Cub N70215 helped fund his education.
Decades later, he tracked down the beloved Piper Cub via the FAA registry, discovering it was still active and owned by a pilot in Columbia, South Carolina.
After the current owner's passing, the author purchased N70215 and, in 2014, flew the historic aircraft back to its original base on John's Island, symbolically bringing a cherished piece of his past "home."
