Nice job for an 18 year old who's probably a month into his first paid flying gig with ink still wet on his cert.

Many years ago I pulled banners for a different company off a grass strip a few miles from where this happened. That company had quite a reputation back then.
During one of the seasons we got to be occasional drinking buddies with a couple of their pilots. Everybody gets a nick name and we nick named our buddy that worked for them Lucky.
Him: Why do you guys call me Lucky?
Us: You fly for [company] right?
Him: Yeah.
Us: Have you had to put one in the water yet?
Him: No.
Us:
Him: You guys are a@@holes.

It doesn't but that plane probably has an O-320 hanging on it.
Yeah, it’s definitely not a stock J3 Cub. It does appear to be an O320 or something similar.

I could be forgetting one or two, but I believe every banner plane I ever flew had more HP than it left the factory with. Several of them had more wing and more fuel capacity as well.
