Mowing yards is a summertime job for scores of teens but Piper J–3 Cub pilot Ben Templeton took it to another level.
Mowing yards is a summertime job for scores of teens but Piper J–3 Cub pilot Ben Templeton took it to another level. He assisted his father with landscaping duties at Triple Tree Aerodrome’s 7,000-foot-long grass strip in Woodruff, South Carolina, to earn funds for flight time before embarking on a 48-state tour for GA awareness. After he returned from the adventure, Templeton paid it forward, giving more than 40 rides to kids in a Boeing Stearman biplane during the airfield’s fall fly-in.
