The Alaska Airmen’s Association’s 2019 raffle plane will be a completely refurbished Piper PA-18-150 Super Cub with a 180 horsepower engine.
Our primary goal with this aircraft is to make it an Alaskan workhorse! We intend this aircraft to be the dream cub for both the everyday pilot and those that would want to use it for heavy hauling, back country work. We plan to equip this aircraft with 35” tundra tires, floats, double slotted flaps, extended gear, large baggage doors, a constant speed composite propeller, a full electrical system including LED lighting and many other useful modifications.
