    ((Lucas said he yelled out “f–k yeah” as loud as he could upon landing the aircraft, which didn’t have “even a scratch” on it, he said.

    “Being scared does nothing,” he continued. “It was my only option. You look left, you look right. There was really only one spot to put it in. One good spot.”

    “Just another day at work, not an ideal one,” Lucas said of his landing. “That’s how you make your money. I’m trained to be a pilot. Flying a plane that runs is not that hard. It’s when they stop running.”))

    Just more proof that a J-3 can land just about anywhere!

    A student pilot that is already an Ace with maybe 8 hours and he's telling us about the amazing mission and landing the Cub without a cowling! Wow ! Being scared, indeed, does nothing. Doing the right thing when you're scared is everything and I one gives thanks and does not brag about it.
