Sentimental Journey“Kiss the ground the Piper J-3 was built on.”

Aviation Insurance Resources (AIR) regional representative Jon Shimer recently attended the 28th Annual Sentimental Journey to Cub Haven Fly-in at the William P. Piper airport in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania from June 20th through the 23rd. The featured plane for 2013 is the Piper PA-18 Super Cub.

Shimer has been flying since 1979 and the Piper Cub quickly became one of his favorites. He has flown over 50 models of aircraft, including over 300 hours in Piper Cubs. He was excited to gain more Cub time during Sentimental Journey.

“I got to fly a 1936 Taylor J-2 with a Single Blade Prop,” explained Shimer. “I also flew the 1944 Taylorcraft DCO-65 L2-M in the Bomb drop.”

The Sentimental Journey Fly-in also featured educational forums, static displays, food vendors, exhibitors, flying contests, poker run, local fly-out destinations, camping, movies, airplane and helicopter rides, and live entertainment, featuring the Alabama Boys.

“I then was invited to announce as a comedian as “Forrest Gump” in the Alabama Boys with Greg Koontz Airshows on Friday and Saturday,” added Shimer.

Piper Cub Insurance

Piper Cub InsuranceA small yellow plane soars through the sky and is immediately spotted as the beloved Piper Cub.The Cub is a basic, no-frills aircraft that has dominated the marketplace because it is extremely reliable and versatile. It has excellent low speed manners and it can take off and land where other planes cannot. The Cub’s big brother, the Super Cub is considered by many as the ultimate backcountry airplane.

The Piper J-3 Cub was first introduced to the public in the late 1930s. This high-wing two-seater quickly became the top seller in the private plane market. In the 1940s, the Cub became the primary training plane in the Civilian Pilot Training program during World War II. The L-4 Grasshopper, a military version of the Cub, flew observation and liaison missions throughout the war. Then in 1946, demand for the Piper Cub was higher than ever. The war was over and returning military pilots were ready to embrace the American dream. 6,000 Cubs were sold that year, which is still the record for the most civilian aircraft of one type manufactured in a single year.

Over the years, Piper Aircraft has created many popular models, such as the Piper Cherokee, Arrow, Aztec and Malibu. One of the easiest to spot and classic Piper Aircraft are the beloved yellow Piper Cubs.

Today, the Cub is  recreatedby CubCrafters (Carbon Cub, Sport Cub, and Top Cub) and by American Legend Aircraft (Legend Cub, which is offered in J3 and PA11 styles).
