Description

A great one is for sale, one of the best and best-known Wilga 104-80s in the US. If you are looking for an eye-catching 4 place IFR STOL Warbird that can tow gliders and accomodate skis, floats, and skydivers, this is it. Low Time (899 TTAF, 899 TTEng, 899 TTProp). Multi-role Warbird. Powerful supercharged 9 cylinder radial, roomy 4-place with large baggage area, IFR, STOL, sweet handling, standard category, factory-installed TOST tow hitch. Certified to configure for skis, floats, multiple gliders on tow (Wilgas are popular for towing in Europe). Imron paint, EAA-qualified Warbird in markings of Wilga that served in Polish Air Force, 1 PLM Warsawa. Always a huge attention-getter at air shows, fly-ins, & on the ramp. It's a great, affordable utility aircraft for entry into the Warbird scene--we've been featured in "Warbirds" magazine and other Warbird-oriented publications (a couple more just recently in 2023). Owned, flown, and maintained by husband/wife FAST-carded CFII/A&Ps with over a decade of Wilga experience. This was our entry drug into Warbirds, selling now after all these years due to purchase of T34s, but still flying it for occasional fun and good health of the plane. Located at Cloud 9 Airport (MI26) Michigan.

Remarks

Sweet handling -- it's a hoot to fly! Built military-strong. We have found it relatively easy to work on and keep maintained. We know Wilgas--we've owned three. A very accurate rendition of this airplane's paint scheme is on a Wilga available for Microsoft Flight Sim.
