The Piper Super Cub is a two-seat, single-engine monoplane, introduced in 1949 by Piper Aircraft. It was developed from the Piper PA-11, and traces its lineage back through the J-3 to the Taylor E-2 Cub of the 1930s. In close to 40 years of production, over 9,000 were built. Super Cubs are commonly found in roles such as bush flying, banner and glider towing.
