Jeanne Scribner

I am a recent transplant to the Sequim area, moving here from Philadelphia a little over a year ago. My first exposure to the world of general aviation was through my late husband and his brother who were both private pilots. My two nephews and my oldest son are also private pilots.

I was spending my time in Philadelphia being a loving grandmother to many preschool grandchildren. My days changed dramatically when I joined my partner, Ernie Hansen, in Diamond Point. We have spent many hours in Ernie’s Globe Swift. We have attended many unofficial EAA fly-outs together in the Swift as well as enjoying a wonderful weekend of airplane camping in Cavanaugh Bay with our friend, Ray Ballantyne.

Ernie and I spent much of our first year together completing his experimental Super Cub. It took to the skies on its maiden voyage on December 22, 2020.

Despite the hard year Covid has given us all, I am thankful for all the wonderful people and new friends I have met through my aviation experiences with Ernie. Jeanne WELCOME NEW MEMBER (Jeanne Scribner) & ERNIE FLEW HIS SUPER CUB My Experimental Super Cub is finished! After five years of work, on December 9, 2020 the FAA DAR (Designated Airworthiness Representative) arrived at Diamond Point Airport to perform the Airworthiness Inspection and issue my Operating Limitations! This went smoothly, and was a positive experience. Following the receipt of my Airworthiness Certificate and Operating Limitations, the real work started; obtaining insurance. But that’s another story.

My first flight was December 22, 2020. I have done 5 flights total to date (1/9/2021). These flights have mainly focused on engine break-in, as the engine was newly overhauled. The plane flies very nice with no rigging or control issues. I am looking forward to obtaining more flight information once the engine break-in is completed.

If you hear a mostly white Super Cub droning around the area…Look Up! Ernie
