Not a great 'general purpose' aircraft perhaps, but it excels at the
narrowly defined mission it was built for which was to do heavy work at 60
knots with state provided fuel. With the radial replaced with a Lycoming,
it does better on fuel consumption.

A Wilga was diverted to Nampa, ID on 9/11. It was in route from Beaverton,
OR to Shreveport, LA.

The placard near the tail hook states that it is certified to pull 3 gliders
at a time.
