Echoing the classic WWII liaison aircraft, the Legend Combat Cub revives the era. Reminiscent of the historic L-birds produced as liaison aircraft for the U.S. Army and Air Force from 1942 to 1962. These aircraft are commonly referred to as “Grasshoppers,” in part for their olive drab color, and certainly for their ability to takeoff and land on grass fields.
Formerly, L-birds served with artillery and other outfits spotting targets and giving commanders real time information on enemy positions. Today, Legend Combat Cubs and their inspirational L-bird brethren can be seen doing reconnaissance for flying clubs and seeking adventure in remote places on every continent. Legend Combat Cubs are available either in Open Cowl or Closed Cowl configurations.
