It seem strange to paint a Wilga with WW-II German markings. The world's oldest Wilga was built in 1962. I believe Warszawa-Okecie is still building them.

This one is unregistered and in need of some air in the tires. A
couple years back, someone who appeared connected to it tried to tell
me it was "a version of the Fi-156 Storch".

One just nods politely and walks away...

Maybe it was used in a movie.

The glider tow hook is standard equipment. In the US the Wilga is certified capable of launching and towing three glider at a time.

A Wilga landed at the Nampa, ID airport on 9/11 and I took a few pictures.

Nice. I think I've seen this one in the deep and distant past.
