1947 PA-12 PA-12 Super CruiserSingle-Engine Piston Aircraft • Independence, OR, USA

This 1947 Piper PA-12 Super Cruiser, registration N3780M, is a beautifully restored example of a classic backcountry performer, offered by Jan Moon of On Centerline Aviation. With 4,024 total hours on the airframe and a Lycoming O-320-E2D 150 horsepower engine that has 1,020 hours since major overhaul and received a comprehensive IRAN completed on February 5, 2026, this aircraft is ready for its next owner. It comes with a fresh annual valid until February 2027, and recent inspections include a fresh 500-hour magneto check. The airframe has been hangared, with logbooks beginning in 1961 for the airframe and 1974 for the engine.
