Description
Presenting N295T - a beautifully cared‑for 1953 Piper Super Cub offering the full Alaska‑ready trifecta: wheels, floats, and skis. This PA‑18 is the ideal backcountry machine—simple, honest, and capable—with the flexibility to operate year‑round on virtually any surface. Whether you’re hopping between lakes, exploring snow‑covered terrain, or cruising from your local strip, this Super Cub delivers the classic Cub experience with the versatility only a true three‑gear aircraft can offer. This airframe presents well for its age, with a ground-up restoration, an overhauled engine, and the dependable performance these early Cubs are known for. The aircraft has been actively flown, properly maintained, and kept in flying condition rather than stored away. If you’re looking for a Super Cub that’s ready to work, explore, or simply enjoy, this one checks all the boxes.
