PAUL KOSUBINSKY

Paul Kosubinsky’s logbook tells the story of his true love affair with flight – from the J-3 Cub to the Boeing 747. Though he’s flown many different airplanes, “My heart has always remained in the Cub,” he says. Paul has stepped up to take on the role of RAF Virginia Liaison and will team up with current Virginia Liaison Dean Castillo. Paul says his years with the Boy Scouts of America kindled his love of camping and the outdoors, blending seamlessly with life on his farm’s airstrip in the Shenandoah Valley, “Where backcountry flying and wilderness adventures often meet.”

Paul owns a 1982 PA-18 Super Cub and is partner with his son in a 1946 J-3. A career pilot, flight instructor, and mentor, Paul dedicates his life to teaching others the art and discipline of flying.

A proud father of two Eagle Scouts, he said both sons have carried the family’s passion for aviation skyward – the oldest now flies the rugged frontiers of Alaska, and the youngest is a flight instructor in Virginia, shaping the next generation of pilots.

Paul continues to serve his community as chairman of the Front Royal-Warren County Airport Commission and as a coach for a boys’ high school lacrosse team.
