1946 Piper J3-65 Cub

REGISTRATION NUMBER: N88175

SERIAL NUMBER: 15792

The Piper J-3 Cub was first introduced to the flying public in 1938. A high-wing two-seater, it could putt-putt along at 60 mph with its 40-HP engine. Like many small planes of the day, it had a framework of steel tubing covered with cotton fabric. In the fashion of Henry Ford?s Model T, it was available in only one color: bright yellow, with a black lightning strike down the side! At a sticker price of just $1,325, the Cub quickly became the top seller in the emerging private plane market. ?

Flying a Cub has always been about fun, pure and simple - Dodging around puffy clouds, skimming the treetops with the window and flop-down side door open. Landing on a beach or grassy field just to see what's there. You still start the engine of a Cub by giving the propeller a flip, just like in the old days. You navigate with your eyeballs and a map on your lap. There's no radio to distract you. When you fly a Piper Cub, it's just you and the air!
