The PA-18 Super Cub is one of Piper's most successful and long lived aircraft programs, with production spanning over four decades. Over 7,500 Super Cubs were constructed from 1949 to 1981. The first production Super Cubs took to the skies in 1949. The Super Cub remained in production with Piper until 1981, when almost 7500 had been built over an uninterrupted 32 year production run. Piper made other attempts at production in the 90’s but they were unsuccessful.

The Piper Super Cub remains the standard in short field take-off and landing (STOL) operations. With an impeccable safety record the Super Cub remains an aviation icon of safety and excellence. The safety record of the Piper Cub accompanied with the experience of Meekin’s Air Service ensures your flight will not only be beautiful, but safe.
