The historic Piper J-3 Cub is now the official aircraft of the state of Pennsylvania. Governor Tom Corbett has signed into law the legislation, known as Act 73. State Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Clinton/Centre, who has spearheaded the campaign, said he is elated. "At long last, the exploits of the Piper Cub, and the people who made the engineering marvel, receive their just recognition," said Hanna, whose H.B. 1989 made the designation official. "Let the world know that Lock Haven gave birth to the plane whose popularity in peace and war remains unparalleled 77 years after it first began production."
