Piper Aircraft J3c-85
Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft
The Piper J‑3 Cub is a lightweight, high‑wing monoplane built by Piper Aircraft from 1938 to 1947. Its simple, fabric‑covered steel‑frame fuselage seats two in tandem and is powered by an air‑cooled flat‑four piston engine driving a fixed‑pitch propeller. The Cub’s low‑speed handling and short‑field performance made it popular as a trainer, general‑aviation aircraft, and later as a military liaison and reconnaissance platform.
