"God is my Co-Pilot" - Piper Cub Gear Problem Video

"God is my co-pilot"... While at Lake Hood, AK. I heard radio transmissions indicating the Cub pilot realized there was a problem with his landing gear. The pilot of a Cessna 206 that was on final for the water runway was granted permission from the tower to deviate and fly alongside the Cub. He reported to the Cub pilot, "You've got a problem with your left strut. It's just hanging and you'll probably be landing on your hub." I rushed over to runway 31 to assist in the event of a crash. Crash crew and police appeared, so I transitioned to documenting the incident. (Luckily Cub parts aren't "Made in China").
