Piper PA-18S Super Cub
Float N1151A (c/n 18-745)
Here's a relatively old (1951 Model) PA18-125
on floats at the Kurtzer Seaplane Base on
Seattle's Lake Union in the
summer of 1961. Piper built approximately 10,300
Super Cubs
between 1949 and
1994. A very small percentage of them was on floats. Today
there are less
than 50 PA-18 floatplanes
on the U.S. register.
The
designation PA-19
referred to the military L-18C aircraft. Several were
civlianized,
especially in Europe. Very few made it on to the U.S. civil
register.
