Our US Navy NE-1 (Piper J-3 Cub) is more than just an aircraft; it's a symbol of aviation history and a testament to the enduring appeal of simple, effective design. Whether used for leisurely flights, flight instruction, or as a collector's item, the Piper J-3 continues to captivate aviation enthusiasts with its charm and practicality. Its legacy as a training aircraft and its iconic status in the aviation world make the Piper J-3 Cub a timeless classic.

One of the key features of our J-3 Cub is its lightweight design, which contributes to its excellent handling characteristics and fuel efficiency. The aircraft's fabric-covered fuselage and high-wing configuration not only reduce weight but also provide pilots with exceptional visibility. Our Piper J-3 is powered by a Continental A-65 engine, delivering 65 horsepower, which allows for gentle cruising speeds and makes it ideal for low-and-slow flight experiences around our beautiful and historic Grand Valley in Western Colorado.
