Piper Aircraft Pa-18s
Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft
The Piper PA‑18 Super Cub is a two‑seat, single‑engine monoplane that first flew in 1949. It evolved from the earlier PA‑11 Cub Special and the classic J‑3 Cub, carrying forward the lightweight “rag‑and‑tube” construction. Over 10,000 units were built during a 40‑year production run, and the aircraft remains popular for bush flying, banner towing, and glider towing.
