The Joyce Flying Service, circa 1956. The airport was on the Joyce family farm
property. As a young man Butch spent much of his time at the field, and was in
spired by many local pilots, including Charles Bailey, John Pace, and Ray Griffin,
who taught young Butch the Flying Fanner act Griffin performed at air shows.
ilPIPllt~O plenty
elbow grease (along with a
great paint job) to this early Bonanza during its res

Baron he had refinished in a similar color scheme.

is saying.
"No t another story about yet
another ridiculously expensive
j-3 Cub!"
Yes, we have to admit that this is
a story about a j-3 Cub, but hang in
there. It's not just any j-3 Cub, and
you might learn something. We
certainly did. Plus, we met some in
teresting folks, and you will, too.
Every airplane type in history
ha s a circle of enthusiasts around
it who know all the historical nit
noids about it. However, quite often
those of us outside the circle never
hear those tales, and that's the case
with the Bair Wings Cub. Not only

restoration workshops."
Smith runs a series of ragwing
Piper restoration clinics that take
place in various locations around
the country. They are considered a
"must do" for those serious about
that kind of restoration.
"I attended his workshop in
September of 1996 in Fort Collins,
Colorado. I told Clyde I wanted the
airplane to be absolutely original,
but he took that with a grain of salt
because he'd heard it many times
in the past, and people apparently
didn't follow through.
"I asked him about the pOSSibil
ity of my aircraft being a British
Flitfire, and he said he would look
into it when he got home after I
gave him my registration and se
rial numbers.
About two weeks went by, and
I got a call from Clyde. He said ,
' I have good news and bad news.
What do you want first?' I said,
'Give me the bad news.' He said the
Cub is not a Flitfire, but the good
news is that it is rarer than a Flitfire:
it is a Wings Cigarettes Cub. I asked
him how he knew this, and he said
it was written in the Remarks sec
tion in the original factory records.
"I asked him what he knew
about Wings Cigarettes Cubs, and
he said, 'No t much, other than
they were given away by the ciga
rette company in 1940 and 1941.'
He recommended that I call John
Stahly in Indiana because he had
done a lot of research on Wings
Cubs. I contacted John, and he said
he had a Wings Cub, but it wasn't
restored to original. He then sent
me copies of everything he had
on the promotional program that
was called Wings of Destiny by the
cigarette company."
Finding out he had a rather rare
airplane, Craig then became a real
Wings-aholic and started scratching
around for everything he could find
out about the Wings airplanes and
what he'd have to do to make his
absolutely authentic, right down
to the tiniest details. Then he got a
boost in the originality department

We only had to
adjust the right
rear strut to correct
for a slight wing
heavy condition.
I have test-flown
many aircraft, but
this one meant the
most to me. It was
just like my first
solo flight. Flying
around in this airplane reminds me
why I learned to fly.
"In June of 2004, Mr. and Mrs.
Robert Nivers drove over to see
the airplane for the first time since
1941. Robert even went for a ride.
He also brought along several pic
tures and other bits of memorabilia
about 37946 for me to keep. It was
quite a thrill for us."
The story of the Bair Wings Cub
shows that many threads of history
can weave themselves together into
an artifact that simply can't be du
plicated: the Pearl Harbor connec
tion, the fact that the Nivers sur
vived along with the airplane, the
discovery that the Bair's family Cub
was a rarity, those first 10 hours of
flight with granddad.
These kinds of things can't be
orchestrated. Fate somehow made
a series of decisions that com
bined to say that this airplane and
these people should survive, and
they would find their way into the
hands of someone like Craig Bair,
who wanted to see that those bits
of history should be treated with
the care and respect they deserve.
Like we said, this isn't just an
other J-3 Cub story.
P.S.
Did we mention that the Bair
Cub tied for Antique Reserve Grand
Champion and won a Silver Lindy
at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2004?
Not too shabby! And did we mention
that in the course of the interview
it was discovered that Craig's father
gave this writer his first three hours
of dual instruction in the late 1950s?
The threads of aviation history often
cross in unexpected places.

insurance quote. I couldn't believe my ears. The quote, which included
hull liability and a sightseeing rider was the most reasonable and
lowest one I had received. I would encourage everyone who needs
aircraft insurance to contact AUA, Inc."

AERO CLASSIC
"COLLECTOR SERIES"
Vintage Tires
New USA Production
Show off your pride and joy with a
fresh set of Vintage Rubber. These
newly minted tires are FAA-TSO'd
and speed rated to 120 MPH. Some
things are better left the way they
were, and in the 40's and 50's, these tires were perfectly in
tune to the exciting times in aviation.
Not only do these tires set your vintage plane apart from
the rest, but also look exceptional on all General Aviation
aircraft. Deep 8/32nd tread depth offers above average
tread life and UV treated rubber resists aging.
First impressions last a lifetime, so put these
bring back the good times .....
