N35773; distinctive yellow, high-wing light monoplane with tailwheel; trainer and sport aviation; Continental A-65, 65 hp engine. First built in 1937, the Piper J-3 earned fame as a trainer and sport plane. Its success made the name 'Cub' a generic term for light airplanes. The little yellow tail dragger remains one of the most recognized designs in aviation. J-3 Cubs and subsequent models are still found at fields around the world. Thousands of pilots, including three-fourths of those in the Civilian Pilot Training Program, trained in Cubs. William T. Piper and Piper Aircraft are one of general aviation's greatest success stories. Piper took Gilbert Taylor's Tiger Kitten and E-2 designs and, with Walter Jamoneau, built the Taylor and Piper J-2, then the legendary Piper J-3. When production ended in 1947, 19,888 Piper Cubs had been built. This Cub was built in 1941 and accumulated more than 6,000 hours of flying time before being restored in 1975.

A Guiding Eyes airplane ride dropped off future service dogs at their new homes earlier this month as part of a new national partnership that should hopefully continue to spread the goodwill effortwhics.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind and Pilots to the Rescue have recently teamed up, and the benefits to service dogs everywhere will likely be enormous.

Two female black Labrador Retrievers named Breeze and Bagel, and a female German Shepherd named Dove, were the canine cargo who landed in Ohio to meet their puppy raisers.

That’s where they will get their basic training before returning to the main Guiding Eyes for the Blind campus in New York for Puppy College.

Guiding Eyes airplane ride kicked off a new partnership with transporting service dogs to their new homes.

The flight took off from New Jersey on December 9 from Essex County Airport, which is probably somewhere near Newark, which is not too far from New York City.

There was also a second flight about a week later that transported seven Labrador puppies to Bay Bridge Airport to their puppy raisers located along Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Guiding Eyes is located about an hour north of New York City, and they breed, raise and train guide dogs, and train visually-impaired humans how to partner in daily life with their guide dog as well, with no costs to students.

Because of this, funding comes from caring patrons and individuals like you.

Pilots to the Rescue was founded around 2015 by friends Michael Schneider and Brian Orter, and they are a volunteer-driven nonprofit that provides transport for animals in need.
