Be the center of attention of every ramp! This PA-12 will have everyone astonished that you arrived. You’ll be the living embodiment of those bush pilots we see in the movies. Fearless, not even noticing that their bird hasn’t been washed in 8 years, or that not a single control surface is the same color. Knowing that every hour will be as trouble free as the last because your bird always gets the job done. I tried to be man enough to pilot this plane. I grew my beard to unreasonable lengths, I ate nothing but red meat and 2x4s for weeks, I trimmed my nails with a belt sander, I never wore headsets while flying her, but this Piper just laughed at me and leaked all of its break fluid out of it left master cylinder. Now is your chance to try to be man enough. With flaps and the 150hp O-320 you can go everywhere your Super Cub buddies go (and 69% of the places Trent Palmer goes) all while carrying two whole passengers in the back seat! With the extended baggage you’ll be able to pack all kinds of treasures. When taking pictures for your Instagram posts you won’t even need to use a filter because all of the glass is already filtered for you. You’ll instantly become BFFs with the local crop duster because you’re both rocking the same tires on your flying machines. No need to buy expensive Alaskan Bushwheels when you can just slip your new homie a couple of Benjamins and get his old tires off his duster. Be ready to fly into endless horizons and land on all the mountain tops. Guaranteed to land and take off from any strip in the Idaho backcountry with the word “Creek” in the name. Comes with a full tank of gas

I got my ticket in a Piper Super Cruiser. Complete with heel brakes. Fun fun fun aircraft. If I had access to a hanger back in 1994 I would have bought one of these.

I'm so glad you didn't.......but I'm selfish. wink


If you had bought one of those, you'd be with the Short Wing Piper Club instead of here with us.........I told you I was selfish. smirk

Yep, the ad says it all - it's the perfect airplane for women, no one is man enough to master its complexities. smile. I've flown them with women and they flew them well. Didn't know it was because of the airplane's design.

They are great airplanes. I think they hold the record for most STCs for interesting mods.

I have flown a Suiper Cruiser (HB-OOD) for many years, to the North Sea, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic Ocean.
And it wass yellow all over. I liked it as much as the Cessna 150, or even a little bit more.
We sold it because neither of us two owners had the time and resources to recover it.
