Forum
All about the immortal J-3 Piper Cub and L-4 Grasshopper, built
by William Piper at Lock Haven, which evolved into the PA-11 Cub
Special, PA-18 Super Cub, and the Legend Cub and other lookalikes
of today. The author of the site maintained the Piper Cub
Forum for twelve years now, which pretty much parallels his love
affair with the pretty yellow bird from Lock Haven.
OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer)
A manufacturer that sells a complete product to its end user.
The internal parts used in the final product might be purchased
from other manufacturers or internal parts might be manufactured
on-site, usually a combination of both. For example: A Camaro might
have Firestone tires, windows by PPG, radios by Sony, metal by US
Steel but the final product is known as a General Motors Chevrolet
Camaro. General Motors is the Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM).
“The CSeries aircraft represent cutting-edge
technology and are true 21st century jetliners. The CS100 jetliner
is very well suited for our route expansion plans and we look
forward to introducing this very modern aircraft into our
fleet.”

Executive Officer, PrivatAir, in announcing the purchase of up to
10 CSeries Aircraft from Bombardier.
