PZL Wilga Aircraft

The PZL-104 Wilga is a rugged, high-wing STOL utility taildragger — instantly recognisable by its tall stance and huge cabin glazing — famous for short-field performance and its role as one of the world's classic glider tugs and bush aircraft. Classic Wilgas use a Polish radial; the Wilga 2000 fits a Lycoming. Characterful and genuinely capable, it is a favourite of glider clubs and utility operators.
