More about the Super Cub here at Classic Wings

For a long time, the Piper PA-18 Super Cub was considered to be one of the most popular and safe aircraft in aviation history. The Super Cub is a two-seat, single engine plane that can take off from rough fields with less than 200 feet of runway – making it an ideal aircraft for pilots who need to fly out in remote areas.

The Super Cub has been used by many different industries including police departments, agricultural workers, and search and rescue teams.

In close to forty years of production, more than nine thousand were created. Super Cubs are typically seen in roles such as glider towing, banner towing, and bush flying.

The chance to fly in one now is comparatively rare so we are delighted to be able to offer this opportunity to experience the fun and finesse of tailwheel flying.

Our beautiful Super Cub has recently had a complete overhaul and restoration so is now in pristine condition and waiting for you to fly her.
