The view: Loon Creek in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, Idaho
The plane: Piper PA-18 Super Cub
The pilot: Jody Kochansky
The mission: Landing at Upper Loon Creek USFS air strip (U72)
The memory: I was taking a course at McCall Mountain Canyon Flying School based in McCall, ID. Given that all my previous flight time was in a Cirrus, there were so many firsts for me in the training: tailwheel, grass and dirt strips, canyon flying… The instructors and staff at McCall guided us through with patient instruction and incredible aviation stories. I’m a better pilot for the experience!

Jody Kochansky was fascinated with World War II as a kid and dreamed of flying a P51 Mustang. After finishing college, he shifted focus to his career and young family. He rekindled his interest in aviation when he gave his son an “Experience Flight” for his 15th birthday. Jody passed his private pilot check ride 2 days after his 49th birthday and has starting on his instrument rating. He hasn’t yet flown a P51, but is working towards another dream of island hopping in the Bahamas with his wife for his 50th birthday!
