Historic Plane to Land at Mid Continent Airport June 24th

Cross Country Voyage Retraces Flight Made 48 Years Ago in the Same

Aircraft

Dates: June 22, Lock Haven, PA - July 2, Riverside, CA

In 1966, as teenagers, Rinker Buck and his brother Kern made a journey from the East Coast to

the West Coast in a 1949 Piper PA-11. Rinker later wrote a fascinating memoir detailing this trip

titled, Flight of Passage. Fast forward 48 years: the same cub now owned and fully restored by

Chris Nesin will again travel across the United States. The trip will begin from Sentimental

Journey in Lock Haven, PA. at the beloved annual gathering of Cub enthusiasts. You may track

Chris's progress and see live updates of the journey all the way to Riverside, CA at

www.SuperCub.org There will be opportunities to support Chris's trip as well as meet with him

and his wife April (also flying with him) at the local airports.

Rinker and Kern's journey was a personal one; as this journey is to Chris and his family. This is a

rare opportunity too to be a virtual part of grassroots cross country flying. Progress while flying

a Cub will always be determined by the weather, so watch www.supercub.org for updates on

their whereabouts and video and blog updates as the trip progresses.

This journey is also helping raise awareness for the Austin Hatcher Foundation for Pediatric

Cancer, a pediatric cancer Foundation working to restore the spirit of children and families

dealing with the effects of pediatric cancer. More information on the Austin Hatcher

Foundation for Pediatric Cancer can be found at: www.hatcherfoundation.org or
