Welcome to Yakima Aerosport
Yakima Aerosport is a boutique aircraft shop on McAllister Field in Yakima, Washington, founded by Mike Butterfield and Todd Braman. Both are A&P / IA mechanics; Mike is also a CFI. Together with “The Crew,” they specialize in Piper ragwing aircraft—especially Super Cub–based builds, rebuilds, and maintenance.
Our lineup centers on aircraft built around the Dakota Cub slotted wing and Super Cub–family airframes:
- Super 18 Turbo Cub — wide-body fuselage (Northern Airframes / BCV), Dakota Cub slotted wing, Aero Sport Power TIO-360, and MT constant-speed propeller for more altitude, speed, and payload than a standard Super Cub.
- Bushmaster — a four-place Super Cub for serious back-country work, with build and repair options including floats when the mission calls for them.
- Super Breezy — our open-cockpit, Super Cub–component design for high-quality STOL fun with a shorter build path. Major components interchange with our cabin aircraft, so you can share wings, powerplant, and gear across platforms.
At the heart of the shop is still the Piper Super Cub. Yakima is home to serious Cub culture (CubCrafters is next door), and we’ve worked Super Cubs in one form or another for decades. Whether you need help with an STC, an annual, a rebuild, or an upgrade, your PA-18 is in experienced hands at Yakima Aerosport.
