"Wayne Paul" skrev i en meddelelse ... 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. Except it starred in an Indiana Jones film as a German fighter . . . |

It's a Pilatus P2 actually chaps and it just don't look right in them thar markings! Mikey, 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 now sorted, see attached. Ricardo "Ricardo" wrote in message news Blume, Alf wrote: Hello, Mitchell!

: 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. 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..." Bob ^,,^ |
