Mark McGhee demonstrates extreme maneuvers in a 1973 Polish Wilga aircraft, taking off on a muddy runway after 400 feet, decending at 2800 fpm and coming to a rolling stop in 200 feet. Extreme performance at its best.

The only thing that sounds better than a radial engine running is when its starting up! LOVE that sound.

She may look like she was built from the skin of an aluminum barn, but you can't ask for a better plane.

@76realty huw much is it?

[MrNorthernRed]

What's not to love? A radial engine, a tail wheel, big honking controls- a totally honest flying machine with personality. The Wilga has a style all its own!

[DrifterToo]

You can afford to fly a Wilga but you can't afford a real camera?
