Memphis area flooding.
Ed Carney flew his 1946 Piper J-3 Cub.
The Mississippi River was at 47.7 feet. Flood stage is 34 feet. This was the crest.
The pictures show areas mostly around the river itself.
We started and ended our trip at Colonial Airstrip near Forest Hill Irene and State Line Rd in MS., flew W to the river, followed the river N through downtown Memphis, headed E to Charles Baker airport in Millington for fuel, then back.
