Piper Aircraft Tg-8
Manufacturer: Piper Aircraft
The Piper J‑3 Cub is a lightweight, high‑wing, strut‑braced monoplane that was produced from 1938 to 1947. Built in large numbers for the Civilian Pilot Training Program, it became the most‑produced Piper aircraft after the PA‑28 Cherokee, with over 20,000 units built in the United States. Its simple, fabric‑covered steel‑frame design and low‑speed handling made it popular for flight training, general aviation, and bush flying.
