Also try http://cub-club.com/ They built them at Loch Haven.

Not next door to you, but: 1) There is (was?) a supercub at 12N (Aeroflex-Andover, NJ). 2) Years ago there was a cub at 13N (Trinca, NJ).

Although, these days those airplanes are flying non-stop doing Light Sport Training. tom418 wrote: Quote: When I got my Private certificate (late 60's) almost everyone at the school I was in (Zahn's Airport) flew Cubs for at least a few hours, even though our main training was in PA28s.

Sport Aviation at Van Sant PA is a great spot with an assortment of rental taildraggers, including a Cub (at least when I was there a couple of years ago). Van Sant is a funky 3,000 ft grass strip on top of a hill, near the Delaware River about 20 miles south of Allentown. I think they have a web site, so try googling them. Azir is the chief instructor and about the nicest guy you'll ever meet. Good luck with wherever you choose, rick Back to top Robert M.
