Whether it be under the wing in a makeshift tarp/tent at Oshkosh, or decked out with a full array of L.L. Bean gear in the Wyoming, Utah or Idaho Backcountry, Supercub camping can be a particularly fun and unique experience.
Our Backcountry Super cubs can provide a perfect escape from the weekend crowds by whisking us as far away as we desire, while relieving us of the burden of a heavy laden backpack and weary legs. These so called Bush Planes are wonderful because they give access to those who love nature but aren’t physically able to hike or carry large loads. By being our pack mule as well as our legs, our Super cubs extends the range and takes us farther than we would otherwise go.
SUPER CUB camping is also practical. It is a GREAT MONEY SAVER. A single night’s savings on hotel bills can cover an entire weekend’s gas costs. Costly taxis and rental cars can be avoided, since the flexibility of staying on-field often makes airport courtesy cars easier to come by for sightseeing or shopping. During the peak tourist season when hotel rooms are scarce, airplane camping allows us to maintain complete freedom, still able to make that last-minute dash off to a popular location or special event without worrying about reservations months in advance.
Camping under the wing at a large fly-in or airplane gathering brings a special sort of camaraderie and bonding that must be experienced to be understood. There is something special about walking the flightline at Oshkosh at night with three or four thousand other airplanes and campers. Social barriers evaporate and cliques disappear as we are forced to acknowledge, silently perhaps, “Yes, truly, we are a band of brothers and sisters.” We realize we have finally captured the magic, and realized the essence of the promise the airplane holds .....Adventure!
