Learning to fly in a 1940 Piper J-3 Cub. Zero shortcuts. All the right fundamentals.
At EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2026, we caught up with Matt Brentner, who's learning to fly the ...old-school way: in a tailwheel airplane!
With a family full of aviation enthusiasts and a dream he's had since he was five years old, Matt is proving you don't need to wait until you're an experienced pilot to start learning tailwheel flying. You need a good instructor, trust, practice, and a willingness to learn.
From hand-propping to working those rudder pedals, there's something special about mastering the basics in a classic Cub. Sometimes, the best way forward is to go back to the fundamentals.
And remember… if your tail ain't waggin', you ain't draggin'!
