Two exceptional aircraft for tailwheel training and advanced aerobatics
Piper J-3 Cub
The Piper J-3 Cub is the quintessential tailwheel trainer and the aircraft that taught generations of pilots to fly. First introduced in the 1930s, the Cub remains one of the most beloved aircraft in general aviation history. With its classic tandem seating, simple systems, and honest flight characteristics, the J-3 is the perfect platform for learning true stick-and-rudder flying.
Our Cub operates beautifully from Bucks Airport and surrounding grass fields, giving students the full tailwheel experience—wheel landings, three-point touchdowns, and crosswind techniques in an environment where tailwheel flying truly belongs. Whether you're earning your endorsement or just want to experience low-and-slow flight at its finest, the J-3 Cub delivers an unforgettable flying experience.
