Yes, you're right. My picture is of a Pilatus P2, rather than the Bf108
which is shown in Glenn's original posting.

I hang my head in shame, and I'll now rebadge my shot.

Thanks for the guidance.

Now the marking on this one IS strange. The Polish Wilga (PZL-104) was
designed to tow gliders (up to 3 at a time) and provide skydiving training.
It has been in continuous production since 1962 (first flight was April 24,
1962).

It definitely is a post war design. I don't see any logical reason for WWII
German markings.

I saw this at the Burlington Airport (north of Seattle) in April 2005.
It, and another Wilga in more standard colors, are/were apparently for
sale, this one didn't have an N-registration, and I don't think it was
fully airworthy yet.

When I asked one of the folks that were working on it about the markings,
I got a story that "it was a Polish post-war modification of the Fiesler
Storch." Riiiight, and if my grandmother had wheels, she'd be a wagon!

Don't know if it had been used in a movie perhaps, or just a rather
creative bit of imagination.

Skagit Regional (BVS) in Burlington WA, a few miles northwest of
Arlington. They occasionally have a really nice little EAA fly-in, but
it's a bit hit and miss as to which year.

Bob,

We had a Wilga land at the Nampa airport on 9/11. Being one of the glider
guys, I just had to get a few pictures.
http://www.soaridaho.com/Guest_Photos/Wilga.htm This is a PZL factory paint
job.

It doesn't look like a "Fiesler Storch" to me.

Yes, I covered that in my grovelling apology to Alf - and everyone else
- on 10 January, about the misidentification.

I agree with your comment on the markings, but just to show that it is

Though every bit as impressive in its own right.

9/11 - living just a few miles from Boeing Field and Seattle-Tacoma
International, I was amazed by how much quieter it got around here during
the days following. Other than an occasional military craft passing over at
altitude. Unnerving at first, not that it got a better quickly after
flights resumed. Suddenly my life-long thrill at watching the aluminum fly
overhead gained a dark shadow of "is he really in the pattern? Or a little
too low and too fast..."

Though every bit as impressive in its own right.

9/11 - living just a few miles from Boeing Field and Seattle-Tacoma
International, I was amazed by how much quieter it got around here during
the days following. Other than an occasional military craft passing over at
altitude. Unnerving at first, not that it got a better quickly after
flights resumed. Suddenly my life-long thrill at watching the aluminum fly
overhead gained a dark shadow of "is he really in the pattern? Or a little

Well, probably not. Isn't this an MS Criquet? :)

Not all of them. The MS 502 did but the one in Ricardo's picture
appears to be in the Luftwaffenmuseum and is listed as an MS 500.

Have a look at:

My picture was taken at RNAS Yeovilton, but I can't remember when -
possibly 1988. Point taken about the Morane-Saulnier MS-500 Criquet
(Fi-156) version.

The great thing about posting here is, if you get it wrong, there's lots
of expert advice to help you get it right. Thanks.

If you are referring to the 'Laughwaffe' Wilga, while I did use Photoshop
to prepare the image, the markings themselves were on the actual PZL-
104...
