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. Wayne HP-14 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ "Bob Harrington" wrote in message ...

Wayne HP-14 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ 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.

Arlington? 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. http://www.fboweb.com/fb40/pu/ai/ad.aspx?aptident=BVS Bob ^,,^ |

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. Wayne HP-14 "6F" http://www.soaridaho.com/ |

Except it starred in an Indiana Jones film as a German fighter . . . |
