Piper Aircraft Pa-18s-125
Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft
The Piper PA‑18 Super Cub is a two‑seat, single‑engine monoplane introduced in 1949. Developed from the earlier PA‑11 Cub Special and tracing its lineage back to the J‑3 Cub, it became one of Piper’s most popular light aircraft, with more than 10,000 units built over nearly 40 years of production. Its rugged design and short‑field performance make it a favorite for bush flying, banner towing, and glider towing.
