Hi everyone,
I have been in Denmark a number of years and acquired a N-registered PA-18-150 Supercub. I now need to go back to the US and I want to ship my beloved Supercub back. I have never done anything like taking an airplane apart and containerizing it. I have seen some companies that specialize in this in the US but I have not found any place in Denmark or close to that does this. Does anyone have any guidance or recommendation on how to go about doing this shipment? I am unsure about many things and any information or recommendations would be really helpful.
Check with Aerotronic in Höganäs, in Sweden but very close to Denmark. I have no idea what experience they have from shipping but you can check.

I just sold a U206F Ampib (we owned it for a month) back to the USA. We are crating it up in France and sending it in a 40ft. Cost door-to-door ex-insurance is $14k.
Google search “Container shipping a plane” on another well known aviation website (Excuse me Peter), there’s a good write up there with lots of useful information….
I am most likely leaving my job and this will require that I move to the USA. I have a PA-18 that I bought in Europe and I would like to move it to the USA. I contacted Piper here in Europe but they were no help with transport companies that could pack it up and ship it. The only other option I found was a company in the US that would fly over a crew and containerize it and ship it but that was an outrageous cost. Does anyone have a suggestion or contact with a firm that can containerize it and ship it?
FYI, it is a N registered aircraft?

@johnh might help, although he has moved his a/c in the opposite direction.
You can get in touch with

JBS can help moving vintages across Atlantic both ways, he does ship dozens every year (even flew some on ferry kits)
Thanks. I will contact the ones mentioned. I am in Denmark so any suggestions in that area would be great.
If Peter will pardon the cross reference, you’ll find good discussion here:
