Glad to hear that, as it's getting lonely when you get away from controlled airspace.
BTW, your cousin is in good company flying Piper Cubs. Todd Palin owns one and Piper Palin is named after them I think. :) I bet Sarah has spent time in them. At one time, it could be said that 1 in 10 Alaskans had their pilot's license.
Yeah..up there they probably need it.
