J3 Cub—N3463K

Enjoy a taste of the past in our J3 Cub. The J3 Cub was a common site over Pella in the WWII Civilian Pilot Training days and remains so today.

A trip to a nearby grass strip with a Classic Aviation instructor in our J3 is one of the most unique flight training offerings in the Midwest.

This taildragger will bring back old memories and may create some new ones. Train with Classic’s instructors to attain your tailwheel rating or take a site-seeing flight in the next best thing to an open cockpit.
