This 1942 Piper J3C 65 Cub was the smallest aircraft to participate in the Expo 86 Bushplane Flypast on ay 5, 1986. It was owned by The Hon. Stephen Rogers, a cabinet minister in the BC provincial government, and the member of a wealthy family that owned a sugar refinery. It is seen here about to takeoff from the Fraser River next to Pitt Meadows Airport (YPK) for a flight over the Expo 86 site in downtown Vancouver. The aircraft was imported to Canada in 1974 and in 2021 was still owned by a pilot in the Vancouver area. This photo is copyright © Kenneth I.
