Cub-nificent. The first Piper Super Cub took its maiden voyage on November 23, 1949. It spent decades as a working airplane in Idaho and
Montana. When Darin Meggers and his father, Roger, bought the airplane, they decided to take it apart completely and restore it to factory original condition. The airplane has won awards at EAA AirVenture and Sentimental Journey, the annual Piper fly-in at Lock Haven, Pennsylvania—where the Super Cub was born.
