I came acroos thes photos while scanning for the Oregon Aviation Historical Society. The box was labled J-4 and date was 1976. As far as I can tell it is a strip somewhere on the Rogue River. Part of an interesting sequence on an accident & repair.
Here is a temporary landing gear loaded on a Super Cub.
They hung the prop on the other strut
He is the new gear under the J-4
Here is how to straighten a bent cowl
Rigging the landing gear
Next comes the prop
And we do a run up!
And take off
After a a successful take off they were on thier way home. Note the gear tensioner sticks are still in place--reminds me of fence building
