Me-108

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 . . .

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.

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..."

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