Taylor Cub J-2 VH-UYL
Walkaround Photos

I don't know much about Cubs, except that they were the original 'Bush Plane' and were used extensively in mountainous areas of USA and Canada. I remember many photos of little, Cubs, always yellow, some with floats, buzzing along through extraordinary places in National Geographic.

As always, you pick up information as you go with this sort of project. It looks like VH-UYL is a Taylor Cub J-2. I don't know the build year.

I couldn't find any info on 'Artic (sic) Flying Services' either.

These shots were taken at Avalon Airshow in 2007.
