Tadd Garcia flew his 1946 J-3 Cub to Sentimental Journey from Pittsburgh. It was the airline pilot's third visit to the Sentimental Journey. "I bid for vacation this week every year," he said. A pilot since 2000, he's owned the Cub a little more than two years. "I wanted to go back to basic flying. We're flying these things with automated everything, and I liked the idea of going back to a basic airplane."rnGarcia flies the Cub 75 to 100 hours per year. "I just like cruising around on a nice, smooth evening with the window open," he said. "Gas is still expensive, but at least this airplane makes it somewhat manageable."
