About the Piper J-3 CUB
The Piper J-3 Cub is the iconic 1930s-40s yellow taildragger that taught more pilots than any other aircraft of its era. A simple, two-seat tube-and-fabric trainer (rear-pilot seat, in the back), it cruises around 75 knots on a small Continental A-65 engine and is one of the most beloved aircraft in aviation history. The J-3 is a flying classic: limited capability by modern standards, but the experience of flying a Cub from the back seat with the door open is unmatched.
Produced 1937–1947.
